I can imagine wearing shiny spots into the vinyl after rubbing it while trying to clean them.

I believe you wash and wax them as normal...I'm going to today..will update my progress.

Yes, you HAVE to remove the rear spoiler to get the trunk stripes on. You have to remove the carpet from the trunk lid...it's somewhat of a pain...and be REALLY careful..don't want any bolts or washers dropping down in your trunk lid.
Yes, there is a separate small stripe for the spoiler. And yes again, there will be aftermarket stripes I'm sure.

it looks good, but stripes aren't for me. Attracts too much attention from the popo.
BTW, is there a glossy stripe package?

Black is the only FLAT Rally stripe. All other Rally stripes are glossy.
ALL Hockey stripes are Flat from what I hear.

From what I'm told, you can order "individual" stripes - I'm not sure if this is just for warranty or what.... Anyway, I won't be getting another "full" package - or so I don't think.
