Yeah, it will leave behind adhesive on the trunk and it will be a little bit of a pain to get off, but my paint underneath on my trunk was fine after a year or so. I don't know how it would have looked in 5 years though. If you hit it with a heat gun and some car wax it will come off with some elbow grease.

I double sided taped mine. I found 100lbs tape at Home Depot.

why not just safely remove the residue with some clay?

Didn't have any, and I was trading in the car so I really didn't care. I had a heat gun and some wax so I started thinking like mcgyver. It came right off once it got tacky again.
