Again: this depends on anti-corrosion handling. Mine did not remove
factory warranty (what was left of it), but adds an extra one (this was
with converted USA/European DCX warranty).
Self apply: How well you can wash the underbody from dirt and salt
alreday there, if you get delivery of the vehicle in winter? If not done
properly, you just create ideal enviromnent for corrosion to progress

When I was in MT last spring I was told that they've started using salt in
a few ski resort towns -- because the touristas and moneybaggers
(multi-million dollar "log cabins") expect it.

i havent heard of that, and would be surprised to find that its true. as a
whole, montanans dont care much for people who come in and try to change
things. you should read our state constitution sometime, much of it is
written specifically to prevent someone coming in and changing things. red
lodge is a big ski resort/tourist town and i know they dont use salt. i
went pretty much all over montana this past winter (work related) from
beartooth pass to the blackfeet reservation, sidney to well into idaho and
only recall dirt at gravel. not saying its not possible, just that id be
real surprised about it if it is.
