For the leaks around your windows:

For the trunk, I know there is something you can do, because I've seen the question asked and answered before. Post a question on darksol.com and you should get better help.

I didn't look through the TS site to see where they're talking about the bar, but could it be this? The VTEC models come with significantly better anitsway bars than the other Sol models. They could mean just upgrading to a VTEC bar for a cheap, efficient way to get better handling.

yeah, only the VTEC models came with those optional items. the rear antisway bar tightens up the rear suspension, and the front upper brace firms up the chassis from flexing much under hard corners.

The trunk usually leaks from the antenna hole or from those attachments on the back of the b-pillars (with me?) You gotta pull them out (they're held on with clips similar to door molding clips) and seal them with silicone or something. Hope that helps.

I see the How-To link, but the site that it linked to was down. I also have no clue what they're talking about.
