Hey bud,
I'm no help regarding your questions but I just had a few comments and a question of my own.
How long did it take for you to get your package from the date your order was placed? I'm only wondering how their work load is as I'm waiting on my order.
Also, regarding the install, it only takes a few mintues to set it up. Now as far as your paint, I would go to your local ford dealership and get the exact match. They have it in cans and it cost (in my area) about $10-$15 bucks. I would sand the pod down with fine grit, use clean paint prep wipes to wipe it down, put 2 or 3 coats of dupli-color "Adhesion Promoter" on. It's a primer, made for plastics and helps your paint tack properly to the plastic.
Then I would spray 3-4 light coats of paint, let dry and then 3-4 coats of clear coat. Allow 24 hours to dry and always do light coats. I do the above on all interior and exterior plastics and it holds up really good. Others might have some opioions to drop in but the above works for me.
The clear coat and adhesion promoter/primer can be found at pep-boys or any automotive store.
Now regarding the black rubber insert, when I bought my edge it had it in but I'm not sure if PHP sells different setups since I ordered my edge from another place then sent it in to PHP to be upgraded to a Gryphon.
Also not sure about the stickers. My edge came with a sticker but I sure hope PHP sends stickers out or looks at making them up for customers.
