I finally installed the rain gutter/drip rail/whatever trim pieces. I painted them with the Duplicolor Engine enamel so I could use a primer and then the low-gloss black as the top coat. I also installed the rail clips as stated in the manual, for correct spacing. The rear clips are red and have a "hook" feature that the green ones do not have. According to the manual, there seems to be two different rear clips.
Finally, she is almost complete!
MUAH-HA-HA-HA!

They snap off pretty easy. Remember that there are 4 screws per side on the A-pillar and that the very last clip on the rear may be a hook type. In that case, unscrew the 4 screws on the A-pillar, then gently pry upwards on the trim to "snap" out from the gutter, then at the last clip, just slide the trim piece to the front, away and out of the last clip.
Like I said before, the dealer shows 2 types of rear clips when you buy them for re-installing the trim. I just chose the red ones, as that is what came off the car.
I had the old ones painted and ready to install. But, the rubber trim on the pieces was rotted. So, I got another set (used) with good rubber and just painted them and installed. The rubber strips are NOT available from the dealer, only with a new trim piece, at $175 each!
I am definitely coming by the next time we drive to Phoenix AZ. Just to get ideas for when I have enough cash for the SR20DET swap and additional stuff
