I think you are talking ADhesive spray, but I don't see why you can't just take the stuff off and leave it. The only thing wrong is that your engine will make a much more prominant sound, being that stuff is there as a sound deadener

the paint will tend to fade much faster (especially on a S5 or Turbo) without the under hood insulation
