I'd look into Bonneville Salt Flat cobalts for spoiler inspiration :

(from GM Press Release) Chevrolet Sets Three New Land Speed Records at the Bonneville Salt Flats GM Performance Division and its partners from So-Cal Speed Shop set three new land speed records with Ecotec-powered vehicles last week during the 58th Annual Speed Week event at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, Utah, including the first-ever Bonneville record using E85 ethanol. Ecotec-powered vehicles have now set eight records during the past four years with some form of GM involvement.
If I hade a coupe or sedan I'd spend more time researching this design. However, I can't say that this spoiler has any benefits. It could be for downforce or it could be to "mask" the parachute from the airstream. I just don't know.
