I drive only 6-7kmi/yr.....so that helps and umm occasional touch-up paint, waxing, and occasional meguiars quick detailer(in b/t washes) to remove bugs, bird-shiit etc...
Is your bumper and your hood suffering from road-rash..how many miles do you drive per yr?
You can have your bumper and maybe your hood re-painted by a quality bodyshop with a better than factory finish and 100% color match(your G is black, right?).
I had the hood repainted due to damage/road rash and the full aerokit is a few months new.

It is a known fact that the oem Coupe 19's offset is not right for the sedan. The +33 offset, 8.5" wide and 245/40/19 tire is too close to the fender - I actually have the coupe rear springs and with the supposed 1/2" drop (seems much closer in my opinion), it rubs with one passenger in the back, full size spare in the trunk and a semi-hard turn.
i drive about 15k a year, besides the paint fading and rock chips my bumper suffered three 2mph dings, one to the gate and 2 other to a other car. I do have black G.
Im gonna get my whole bumper fixed and painted in about 6 months but hood paint is messed up also (the front side).

You're lucky then - when I take a turn slightly fast, I can hear the tires rubbing and that's with one person back there. I even have coupe springs in the rear which are slightly higher than the Z springs...looking at my fender line...it clearly is too close to the fender.
yeh im from RI and the roads there are horrible!
i had the same issues witrh my oem coupe wheels and h techs....get ur fenders rolled and no more rubbing!
