Uneasy about what?

The badge will not fall off the film. Will stick just as good as it does to the paint. The badge will last longer than the film does which is usually suggested to replace by 10 years.

Sticking on PPF is of no concern.

It's a whole lot better alternative than creating a lot of little edges and holes cut into the film around the letters. Edges, especially hand-cut curved ones, are probably the most failure-prone point on film. So this way you get rid of a lot of edges and hand-cuts.

Just make sure your installer has a proven methodology for replacing the letters correctly. Mine walked me through his approach beforehand and it worked out perfectly,

Most shops wont remove it, so if you found one willing, they should know what they are doing and you'll be fine.

Hopefully they'll be wrapping most edges.

Suntek Ultra is the best film now-a-days. It has anti-water coating and looks much better than Xpel Ultimate, which is thicker and more orange peel.

I suggest you don't do the wrap. As good as the pro might be, he will be putting a razor to the car and there will be minor imperfections, including from dis-assembly and re-assembling. Its unavoidable. Depending on usage, storage, and car of the car, the film WILL have to be replaced after ~5 years. Even the pro-shops say 'the 7 or 10 year warranty is a joke...they assume you wont have the car by then.' Of course the warranty is conveniently NOT transferable to new owner. Removing baked film after 7 year isn't easy and there is a good chance the paint will be damaged in the process.

I've had 3 cars wrapped before from all the best shops in my area and have a 'perfectionist eye.'

Xpel has precuts with just about all the combinations Porsche offers. After 14,000 miles I don't have any issues with the edges, same as my last 911 I had for five years.

Why would you wrap the back of the car like that? Curious. There is no way that you wouldnt see seams if cut around the letters.

I did leave the rear bare. But at a 70th anniversary event at Orlando Porsche a Installer was there. Apparently there is a precut with the letter already available so it was negligible the cut. I wouldn't feel comfortable with adhesive as the point of PPF is to be resistance to dust,etc.

I chose to go with the pre-cut for my rear bumper. You definitely see the seams when you get within a few feet of the car. I'm completely fine with that.

I think the reason to wrap the back of the car is after you have screwed up the rest of the car with film its annoying having one area left that shows just how much better paint alone always looks.

Resistant to dust? My Xpel ultimate sure isn't. First time I've heard that.

As long as rear bumper ppf is prepped, there should be no issue re-installing NEW OEM emblems:
