For me... No. Way too much.

The first thing I think of is how it's installed.

I live in sunny, HOT AS HELL south Florida. I wouldn't trust the sticky tape to last in the heat. Wind pulling up on it at highway speeds. Water/humidity getting under it.

How will it last under that constant heat and direct sunlight? Warping, twisting and curling? Our heat and UVs can be pretty distructive. I'm sure the folks in brutally hot climates would have the same concerns.

Lol...That tape would last a week in our 110 degree heat.

That thing is fugly. And yeah, the "jeep" grill on the banner to the left is even worse. Damn, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

Agreed with hot climates. I lived in TX for a few years and the heat was HARD on my vehicles. Shoot, I had stuff in my garage melt from the heat.

Off topic but only a little:
Whe I drove over the road semi, I became aware of the changing of trends through roadside litter.
I used to see whitewall tire remnants from blowouts, quarter mile-long 8-track tape that had gotten jammed, or the drive got tired of it. That gave way to cassette tape (narrower), CDs & DVDs Baby moons and full wheel covers that had popped off, Yosemite Sam and Reclining Babe mudflaps.
I still see drop-in bedliners that weren't secured laying in a twisted heap, and before long we'll start seeing stick-on hood scoops that blew off, and land next to the stick-on fake fender vents in the ditch.

But the most amazing litter out there is the furniture that somehow falls out of a truck or trailer, lands upright and undamaged off on the shoulder-hmmm...

A functional Shaker hood would be nice.

I'll admit it, so did I, and this is the sort of junk you'd get from them.

Well, there's worse things that one can do to their truck!
