@KentuckyKen in post #2 above wrote, "The only steel body panel is the one piece roof and rear top quarter panels. All others are Aluminium or plastic bumper panels so you are limited as to where you can place a magnetic sign." I am too dumb to know what a "rear top quarter panel" is, but if it isn't the panel surrounding the rear wheel wells the idea of a "magnetic black 'rounder'" might not work. But sticky Velcro might still work!
Good news on the magnetic front.
The area above the rear wheels with the straight part of the spats are contiguous with the roof steel and will hold a magnetic piece to camouflage the spats. The fuel door, and panels below this piece on either side of the wheels are not.
I have a magnetic flexible sheet American flag on that panel and it hasn't moved at speeds up to 70 mph so I think you ides would work.
I’d try measuring the wheel opening and using half of that as the radius to cut a trial piece of paper or cardboard to test how it looks. Then if that doesn’t aesthetically carry the curve of the opening, you can adjust from there. Can’t wait for more pictures.

A few things I discovered on this site:

1) Just touching the driver’s or passenger’s door handle unlocks all the doors (if you have it set to do so). I had thought you had to actually lift the door handle to make that work.

2) The steering wheel adjusts in and out, as well as up and down.

3) Pushing and holding the “+” and “-” buttons on the cruise control increments the setting up or down in 5mph increments, something I use all the time.
On my car the + and - buttons only increment up or down 5mph if I am using adaptive cruise control. They don't do that in normal cruise. FWIW I also discovered that in adaptive cruise control, if you are going under 25mph and press Set - it automatically sets to 25mph.
 
Programming a button to open your garage door works great. The transmitter is much more powerful than any of the garage door remotes I have used, I can start opening my door long before I reach my driveway. There are three buttons so up to three garage doors can be programmed (I only have one) or if people have wireless systems for their indoor lights.

I have the other two buttons set up with my garage door system to turn garage lights on and off. I like to see if I can get the door open as far as a block from home. Sometimes it works that far away, sometimes not.
 
The SO lives in a gated community and I put her gate on my 2nd button. I can 'click-in' way before it notices her official clicker.

Mine does not work that way: No matter which cruise mode, a press of the button moves up or down by 1mph. If I press and HOLD either button it moves up or down by 5mph.

If I just press, then it is +- 1mph. Press and hold in ACC I get +- 5mph.
 
In another thread, a forum member found the One-Touch Turn Signal operation confusing, but once you understand how it works, I think it's a nice feature (not unique to the Clarity, of course). I use it all the time.
