TCoat: Not sure what "Module" you speak of unless it is one of the snake oil modules sold to electronically replace the electrons consumed during the chemical reaction that converts iron to iron oxide. Wont work on a car for the same reason that sacrificial anodes don't work on cars. I could argue that they could create their own problems by having panels at different potentials.
You are both correct! It was something Mazda was pushing and didn't do a bloody thing. Works on ships not on cars.
The body is galvanized It is in the development literature someplace. Most bodies are now.
