Yes but you need to be very careful as the sharks don't like it. I suggest you hit the Yellow Pages for Commercial Shark Finn Removalists as they have the appropriate Amplimesh Cages and Hacksaws.

On an Evo they at least had a function, they guided the air over the roof onto the monster back spoiler. Gave it an extra 4kgs downforce at 160kph adding to the 80kgs the spoiler would generate. It was that downforce that necessitated the switch to a carbon fibre rear wing element, the ABS plastic ones would break.

Somehow I think the purpose is a little diluted on a Falcon...

No no no..you got it all wrong.

When going sideways round a corner the extra wind resistance caused by the fins (your goung sideways remember) helps stop you sliding off into the countryside!!
