I'm getting my TC undercoated soon, if that helps your decision. They use an ass-ton of salt in the winter up here, so it's a good idea.

I dunno, my cousin does it out of his shop, so I think roughly the cost of a 24. lol

We charge $49.95 for a basic under carriage spray, $89.95 to fill the whole car. If you plan on keeping the car for any amount of time it is 100% worth it. I see cars come in every day that haven't gotten under coated ever and EVERYTHING is rusted. Makes it harder to work on not to mention having to deal with holes in the floor and all that good stuff. Make sure you get it under coated before they lay down salt though. If you do it after then make sure you go somewhere that can pressure want the bottom of your car before they spray the undercoating. If not then your doing more harm then good by sealing the salt in.

I personaly hate undercoating.
but i am pretty sure you can get a clear stuff that doesnt look really bad on ur car, so if you can get the clear stuff then go for it.

I agree with Pykie but it's pretty much a must because of the damn salt Id go with rust check its kinda clear....but they drill holes in your door sills and throw some in there so your rockers last then they plug them....

I just finished my car 2 weeks ago with Black rubberized undercoating. Approx. $30 bucks, only bad thing is it's drippy and messy when first applyed, but she hardens up ever so nicely.
Snowin it was tonight coming back across the marsh from Sackville to Amherst. :S
