[QUOTE="Nesc204, post: 1983992, member: 27216"] It all comes down to how you maintain it. Im not sold on the Aluminum body until I see one 12yrs of daily driving in the North East like my Gen 1. I have replaced my outer rockers and cab corners and some other touch up and it looks GREAT. When I did the rockers just a yr ago they weren't that bad in fact most people wouldn't of done anything but Im **** with maintenance so I did it. We replace parts of the skin on aircraft constantly in our service center and they are just exposed to moisture, not salty baths on roads in the north east. The ice melt on runways is not nearly as bad as they use on roads, its just extremely expensive is why its not used on roads. Other than that the only time Aircraft get any kind of salt is misty air being parked outside on a ramp near some Beach. Ive seen parts in wings and stabilizers practically turned into dust just from moisture getting in. Thats why Aircraft are Extensively Inspected on a continuous basis for safety. [/QUOTE]
