The jack points are probably the worst. I didn't use pucks and they got a little bit folded so there's some rust there, but nothing terrible.

On the subframe and other under car pieces the worst is probably the nuts/bolts since they aren't painted. You can see some rust spots on the painted metal pieces but nothing out of the ordinary for a winter driven car in a heavy salt environment.

Also worth noting is that the first gen FRS did not have all the underbody panels that the current ones do from the factory and in addition to being winter driven I've been fortunate enough to have commuted through probably a half doesn't significant construction zones over the life of the car.
