Raised air intake

Really like the idea of a LR raised air intake, but would rather it be removeable when I sell the car, so I can either sell the intake on, or transfer to another vehicle.
What are people's thoughts on the part that goes up the a-pillar being attached to the pillar with bitch-strength body-tape, rather than bolting on? Not having inspected one up close, I have no idea whether this is realistic or not.

I've had the same kind of idea, however it's not the A Pillar you need to worry about - you can buy a new piece of plastic trim. It's the 2 holes you need to drill in the wing panel that I don't like the sound of. There's no way they can be easily covered up. So, I'll be trying to find a way around having to drill these when I get my raised air intake!
