With all due respect you're perpetuating misinformation.

·The trunk has absolutely no damage.
·The paint is still completely perfect.
·The Satin PPF was perfect other than where the leading edge of the spoiler was secured which had a mineral deposit build up but no physical damage. This would be the case had the part been secured to paint.

The only part that suffered was the cheap knock-off spoiler which would have split in two during removal regardless of if it was secured to PPF or paint if BMW's epoxy was used.

Some folks like using DST and that's fine for them but I do not. I prefer a more secure bond of aero parts than DST can offer. So it was either I secure the part with hardware (no chance I would do this on a trunk lid) or epoxy. With epoxy I can either make it reversible the way I showed or I could risk damage to the paint. You don't have to like the way I did it but it's now indisputable that the method is safe and secure when someone opts for using epoxy.
