^^ I would think so too - I gotta see if I can find some on Amazon Canada - Not as much options up here except maple syrup and cheese curds for poutine (lol)
Quick question - I am trying to buy wheel alignment pins to make the removal/install of the wheels easier - I know there is a resin one in our tire kit but that is just too flimsy for my liking. Is there a specific one you guys have used/purchased? I have seen this from Amazon and curious if any of you have bought it or have experience. I know some people have had concerned that the pin is a bit too big and may jam in the hole where the lug bolt goes through

How did u remove the badge? Heat and dental floss?
That is one way. What you’re looking at on the IS500 badge is a test run using Plasti-Dip spray. Little low tack tape, plasti-dip spray and you can toothpick and peel the excess. It’ll last a long time, this way you can make sure you like it. Hate it? Peel off the plasti-kote, and it’s all back to new.
How So When lining up a lugged wheel, you're lining up five lugs. On my truck, it's six.

Agreed. However, the post was concerning the alignment pins and whether you need more than one. I used one alignment pin to hang the wheel, then do a final line up to insert each of the lug bolts. Having two alignment pins just makes it a little more difficult to just get the wheel hung. Not a lot more difficult, just more difficult.
I kind of agree that one pin would be easier to line up - My original question about using was more for added support if needed ....Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I'll stick with one only
Was originally leaning toward the 80 durometer but talked myself into the 90 durometer version. I'm pretty touchy with NVH changes and didn't want to disrupt the pleasant comfort of the car. In ultra aware mode I can tell there is a touch more vibration but only barely noticeable at slow speed like 25-30 MPH. once cruising at 40-50-60 MPH there is no NVH change.
For day to day I think the 80 version would be perfect. For spirited and mountain drives and couple track days a year I will be glad I have the 90's...not that there is probably a significant difference either way, but I'll continue to ponder my 90 vs 80 choice hah!
