C- Rust Inhabitor

I live in the Vancouver area as well. I did the whole package on my 2014. But I'd say it isn't really worth it. If I was to do it again I'd likely just do the undercoat and then look into getting opticoat or something similar for paint protection.

Welp Vancouver weather isnt as terrible as East coast CRAZY salt everywhere

but still not sure if the rust inhibitor is necessary or not

Which rust inhibitor are they going with. The one I recommend to my customers is from platinum and it comes with a lifetime warranty on rust.

IMO I wouldn't go with it, usually you can find better alternatives for similar or slightly higher price. However when I got my FR-S they threw in free rust proofing for 6yrs which is supposed to be applied every other year.

I'm with @jeffwilliams on the after market paint protection, I went to my detailer and got the CQuartz done on my car as I liked the way CQuartz looked on black cars versus OptiCoat however both products offer the same solution.

Just get the undercoating.

For the rest head to a reputable detailer and have them put a nano-coating on the paint such as Opti-Coat.
I work in a dealership. We sell our rust module and paint + fabric protection for something like $1200. Trust me. It's not worth it. At that price buy an extended warranty.
