basing on your pics... what they did is just another chemical rustproofing treatment (which in my opinion is rather unnecessary as I've explained above).

a more cost effective way is to just have the vehicle undercoated. it will also give your underbody an additional layer (tar) of protection against small foreign objects (like gravel) and will help improve your vehicle NVH.

Actually, the rustproofing job I got is not a chemical treatment. They just used tar. I saw the drum and the applicator gun they use that pre-heats the tar before it is sprayed under high pressure. I was told that it reduces road Noise, but not necessarily Vibration and Harshness (since VH is related to a vehicle's over-all build and suspension which are not affected by the coating).

Forgot to mention... The job includes an underbody high pressure wash prior to the coating.

Just wanted to share...

Got this 29" flat screen TV as a promo from HSBC. It got delivered today at work... I was kinda taken aback when I saw the size of the box. Sure was glad to see that the box fits in my 3.0V's cargo area (3rd row seat folded-up)with lotsa space to spare.

Now, this means I'll have to drive very slowly...
