Taking some are from the grill would not be a problem I guess, but hey I'm just thinking some things up. I'm not an aero geek. Of course the effects should be at around highway speeds.
I bet it would, I had the idea of piping air from the sides to the wake since typical car has total crap for plan taper at the rear. The only problem is where are you going to route these huge tubes? Gotta have a passageway for the air, and there just isn't a whole lot of empty space in a car.
