I would think on a front wheel drive car any rear downforce wouldn't make much of a difference. Unless you are taking this on a road course or other high-performance track day it's of no use for downforce. The spoiler may well help for aerodynamics in general, though. I'd love to see "tufts" on the car with and without the spoiler!
