Thanks for your input people. I eliminated Obsidian and am now between USB and Nebula.

@ThomasGS4 : I just don't like the idea of installing a clear bra on a leased car (just like I don't mod anything on a lease), unless the dealer throws it in for free. It's not only about money, it's just that my mind won't be at ease with that amount of money spent protecting a car I don't own...
However if I decide to buy the car, then I'll probably install it!

I have Ultra White, and looking at the body of the car under the sun (if you're SUUUUUUUPER picky like I am -_-), there are swirls/feather-light scratches. I think it'll happen no matter what--just a matter of which color hides it best.

I have both colors because I love them both! If my RX was not Nebula, I may have seriously considered the 3IS with that color with R. Red interior as that would have made for a very unique color combination.

Both paints are holding up very well. RX is 16 months into ownership and Nebula hides swirls very well. USB 3IS is only 6 months old and in near perfect shape also. Bottom line, both are good in my experience. If you want a flashier exterior color, get USB. If you want the flashier interior, get N. Gray with the R. Red interior.

Good luck.
