Since it is a nice day today I started to look at the effects of another winter on the car...
Rear wheel wells are SHOT. That little lip along the inside is a great place for water and salt/sand to sit. estimated cost to fix ->$600-650 a side

Rear decklid under the spoiler. resurface. repaint and reattach spoiler - $300->400

rust on pass side rear door corner ~$100

rust on door sills and "b" piller on both sides front and rear $300-400

spot above windshield.. ~$75

basicly be forwarned all you guys in areas where they use extesive ammounts of salt.. as usual the japanese car will rust out before the drivetrain dies....

I had rust in all those exact same places except the trunk lid. i got some guy to do it all for 500 bucks before this winter. I also had some behind the front wheels. he didnt do a great job but i saved tons of money.
