I was reading on spoilers (as a cosmetically better choice than a boat tail - gf would kill me), would a small spoiler do anything toward fixing the horrible aerodynamics of the back of my car? What shape is best?

This site has a pretty broad selection, I'd get a shape in mind and hit some junkyards, I think:

Honda Del Sol Spoilers

EDIT: Here is an aftermarket spoiler that looks to attach to the trailing edge of the roof and direct airflow downward. Thoughts?
