I was considering putting this on the RS when it comes but am wondering if it would cause damage to the surface if it ever needed to be changed or removed. thanks.

In my experience, no problems at all upon removal. Just get a good installer. Crappy installs have resulted in razor lines in the clear coat. There's a thread on here where Premier showed razor lines on a lambo. I would turn homicidal if that were my car.

It shouldn't cause damage if the paint is original. I just had clear film removed from my GT2 with no issues.

I don't think its a bad thing to discuss your social orientation changes in this forum if you feel its necessary.....not that its a bad thing, but....

Oh hell. One godamn vowel!

The only time we see damage is when it is aftermarket paint...and that is not all aftermarket paint. Only poorly prepped / primed paint would the clear come up if the film ever needs to be removed. ehem...maaco, earl scheib, and the lower end paint shops. Factory paint no need to worry.

Does this film need to replaced over time. Had mine installed when the car was a few days old. Now approaching 2.5 years. It still looks great.

I had mine removed because it was beginning to yellow (white car) and I was worried about a groove forming at the transition point from paint to film. The film came off just fine but there was a subtle groove left over right where you'd expect it (from removing wax buildup against the film edge.

IMO, I expect the film on a non-white car can last for years but eventually, I'm sure it will become more visible no matter what manufacturer you use.

What about where the film goes over decals on an RS?
