During the development of the 1982 Pontiac Trans AM and Camaro,the aerodynamicist involved commented that the simple upswept spoiler (as would be used on the Camaro) was superior to the basket-handle,wing-type which ended up on the Firebird.Pontiac chose the latter for it's 'look',rather than it's performance.
Recent production cars chosen for Bonneville speed records (Fusion,Sonic,Jetta) have all chosen non-aspirated spoilers.There's probably a lesson for us there.
Your wing might have an advantage as to rear vision when backing the car into a parallel parking space.
