Bad A*S Spoiler!!!

I wonder if I could fit this on my car, found on Craigslist:

This is a custom hand made spoiler, it is similar to a porsche 911 spoiler in size and shape, but instead of rising it just wraps around the back of the car, another difference would be where it smooths out on each side. It has been sanded to a symmetrical smooth finish, its made of plumbing foam sealer, fiberglass, and finished with gelcoat. This is a one of a kinda spoiler that can not be found any where, it took over 2 years to get it finished correctly and over the years has gotten me many compliments on both craftsmanship and the look of the car, this spoiler isn't supposed to be for looks though, there is a very noticeable difference between this and a stock spoiler when it comes to handling, try going 70mph around a 45 degree angle with out it and you'll spin out, unless you have the right suspension, my car was running a stock suspension and BFG's when it spun out. no damage was done to the car, the spoiler is just for sale to prove a point.

This is a picture of the spoiler on my car:

Is that what that is? Oh man...this thread is just too funny...I can't stop laughing at the spoiler ad! Mike walked past the monitor; took one look and said "Dukes of Hazard wannabee" and walked off shaking his head...

It looks like Batman's cape, but if it keeps you from spinning out in your FWD car at 75 mph - GO FOR IT!

I'm interested in this "plumbing foam", is it any different than gap filling foam like "Great Stuff"?

And we all know where he got the idea to use "plumbing foam sealer."
