no... for a couple of reasons... the main one? You need the Greenwood wing, because it actually has a shaft to mount the wing to that puts the downforce on the chassis.
All the other wings just bolt to the body work and cause damage over time.

Unless it is a dedicated track car, that would make it look like a Ricer.

Unless you are "racing" there isn't any point.

You've got to have the horsepower and speed to back a wing like that.
