It wouldn't look weird, only you would see it. I did this on the roof of my A8L where I had rhino rack crossbars installed.
The only issue with you moving the bike further back (off the sunroof) is you may not be able to fully open the trunk lid without it hitting the rear tire of the bike. That is what I would want to experiment with before just moving it without consideration.

Yeah, wouldnt need anything out of the trunk other than the front wheel. I could get that out after I take the bike off the roof anyway.

Agreed, but if you hit the trunk button by mistake or something and scuff up the trunk that I would not be able to unsee way more than the PPF in a couple spots on the roof.

I think Seasucker says to never use their cups on wrap or PPF, as it can pull it off the car. I'd use PPF for a normal roof rack though.

Thanks for the tip, was unaware that the suction cups could weaken/remove PPF.

Interesting. I would think the folks using the seasucker mounts would be more likely to have PPF on their vehicles than someone who would just slap a roof rack on any old car.... but it kinda makes sense.

Oh wow, you got the RS5 bumper. Did you get it painted or just wrapped? Do you have details on that? Is it lowered? I'd love to see more pics.
