Couple Questions about new 1LE stuff

preface this by saying that I haven't read the manual yet...but I usually prefer real owner's experiences to the possibly boilerplate info contained in the manuals...


1. Washing the Hood...? What methods work best on that matte wrapped finish?

2. Clear bra install? Got a quote for $1100 from my local place who has done several of my cars. That does not include the hood or anything behind the front fenders. Would it be a good idea to put some clear bra on any other particular area that may be prone to rock chips from these massive sticky tires?

3. Rev Match paddles...? I haven't used them at all yet - car only has 100 miles so far. When are these useful?

4. Skip shift elminator? Is this a thing on these cars? I had done it on my 99 z28 and my 08 C6. Is there an easy way to stop the 1-4 shift nonsense?

5. Exhaust options. Is there a way to increase exhaust sound without messing with emissions stuff or eliminating the performance exhaust on the car? For example, on my old 2016 Mustang 5.0 you could remove the resonator that runs between the cat pipe and catback muffler part to make the car louder without affecting anything else.

6. On edit - one more question...Is there a simple way to elminate the amber front corner markers - like does anyone make a clear or tinted piece that I can swap in with a clear LED that lights up amber in color? I can't find that on any of the few aftermarket sites i've explored.
Ok, I think that's it for now. Appreciate any and all help/tips!!
