Don't add weight if you can help it. I put wheels on WRX that were 10# heavier each, and immediately noticed the effect on acceleration and braking (that car was only used for street driving). The rotational weight affects acceleration and braking. Going with heavier wheels/tires is like...
I agree. The EPS controller would be associated with the other car, and I doubt these guys had the software tools to re-train it to the new car. So you have a broken rack with an EPS controller from another car that has a record of dyno mode. That probably raised some eyebrows and maybe...

If you can avoid (or minimize beyond concern) visible edges and seams on a white car it will be fine, although you'll notice any yellowing sooner, which is another topic -- check the warranty of the film against yellowing/discoloration (they have all made improvements in recent years).

It's because the wind wraps around the A-pillar too smoothly, as a sheet, then breaks off and curls into vortices. These hit the B-pillar and then setup an acoustic feedback with the A-pillar, and you get the insane noise. If we could see the flow, it would look like a bunch of rollers...
It's never standardized -- different dealers offer warranties from different companies, plus you can negotiate the price. I always skip stuff like this, but it's comical how low they will drop the price if you play hardball. These are big moneymakers for the dealer.
That may be normal for their kit because it's a major challenge to fit areas like that. Whether or not a custom install would attempt to stretch there I can't say, but it would be a major CHORE. I have fought those before. So that is likely why the template kit has a seam there.
