Only if you use the 200 MPH NASCAR duct tape, otherwise known as Georgia Aluminum.

I have better instructions on how to mount that thing if you want them. Those sticks and tape look like hell...

Email me for instructions if interested.

EDIT: Hey, wait a minute, that's not your car.......

Reminds me of when my buddy went into a local auto store and asked for 200 mph tape.. the entire store erupted with laughter. He was pissed but it was funny as hell.

The one I used to have on my coupe was from www.acivette.com

I sold it finally, after getting tired of scraping bottom everywhere I went.
Although.....I really did like the looks of it on my C5. I had some 1in. holes drilled in mine.

Default Continental Airlines uses AeroDuctTape

When flying a small jet on Continental Airlines about 15 years ago I looked out the window and saw a large A frame ladder and a mechanic
(or maybe the guy that loads the soda into the soda machines at the airport) Using DUCT TAPE to cover a broken light on the WING. I asked the flight attendent to have the pilot come over and tell me why they were taping the wing with DUCT TAPE. I wanted to know if it was an FAA approved substance. The plane had a broken light which shined onto the tail to illuminate their logo. I ALMOST bolted from the plane as I was concerned that the tape might come off if the plane hit some rain or other bad weather and take a nose dive. Following the disintigration of the space shuttle I KNOW I would not have stayed in the plane after seeing such a RIDICULOUS fix. Don't think Continental is still flying. Are any of their aircraft still in the skies? BIGHANK

Tha's a good lookin chin spoiler, but as you say, I have trouble with the nose as is. No way I could drive my car with that on it and expect it to live.
