You can cover dry-erase marker with clear packing tape, or just use bits of white tape for replaceable numbers. Regular marker can often be removed with solvent.

Looks good.

I'd be more concerned about those window shades than the rear spoiler, though. I bet removing them would make more of an improvement than the rear skirts have.
