Thanks folks.
@Megatron
I used a Bic Mark It permanent marker (see here). It did fade somewhat after almost two years but I recently re-applied it on the steering wheel and shifter. Takes just 20 mins and a steady hand. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

At the time I got my 3IS (over 2 years ago), there were barely any offerings and the rare 2-3 out, did not appeal to me especially for the asking price. Now, I've come across copies of my spoilers being sold - LOL maybe I should have patented them!

I got springs last week and would like to maybe get them installed before winter forces me to store the car until spring..

Holding up very well, like new, recent pics below. Same with the NX. Very pleased with the performance/price/value. Very durable.
Two (minor) negatives though:
1. While it's raining or you're washing the car, water drops temporarily "react" creating these pale white spots, but then becomes clear again after a couple hours.
2. It feels a little grippy while washing even with a soapy mitt, like going over rubber. But, with a careful occasional application of wax, it feels smooth like a clearcoat.

thanks!!
from what I read you are running
235/35/19 265/30/19 f/r
19x8.5 +38 19x9.5 +38 f/r
have you ever experienced any rubbing with people on the back?
you don't have any spacer, correct?
the front wheels have more than enough space to avoid rubbing, right?
is the back wheel a bit stretched?

No rubbing at rear with 5 passengers ever.
No spacers.
No rubbing at front but it does ever so slightly during full turns at low speed with passengers in.
Rear tire is a little stretched. The brand I have are a touch narrower than most other 265/30 tires which is probably why it doesn't rub.
