Not so with aluminium threads in the D2 though, as the copper will accelerate corrosion, not protect against it. Instead, for the D2 I use aluminium anti-seize in certain places. The front panel to the chassis legs for example, the subframe to body bolts, or here for the main bumper bolts. The aluminium grease stops corrosion because it doesn't set up a galvanic reaction. There are some places where steel nutserts are used (the battery junction box for example). These do use copper grease, so its important to know which is which.

Another brilliant tip for everyone who tinkers with their own car.
