So I have a winter beater for when I know there's going to be salt/etc on the roads. But, I still drive my FRS every week or two in the winter between storms. Granted, I get less snow than NY, and PA doesn't really treat the roads unless absolutely necessary. And even then, not all the time.
I got the underpanels to mitigate rust risk. The front of the car is relatively well protected, and the factory undercoating is pretty tough but I feel the underpanels add another layer of protection for most of the car. Exhaust is going to rust no matter what, and maybe the driveshaft etc. That leaves the rear subframe. I've had a Subaru subframe literally fall apart under me. It gave me plenty of warning, I was just dumb and it was my beater at the time. Just some inspection, paint repair where necessary, and replace parts BEFORE they fail. Whole subframe can be replaced btw.
