I don't know how I should proceed on running a diagonal line across my model. The extruded faces looks out place. I want it to look proper because I know this will bite me in the ass on UV unwrap lol.

I would do this as a separate mesh, not an extrusion.
The T-junction should look something like this:

I see. How do I wrap this around the body? The closest thing I saw from this sub is to use the shrinkwrap modifer.

Shrinkwrap could work yes, in that case model it as a a plane (i.e. one sides and without thickness) and have a solidify modifier after the shrinkwrap (shrinkwrap doesn't really work when the object has a thickness already).
