I will likely slope the spoiler by a conservative 10 degrees, and quantify the change through testing.
I'd never spend money on a spoiler without testing first. Just use plastic sheet and tape to make trial spoilers. Even without throttle stop testing, I could detect (through fuel mileage) changes in drag with different rear spoiler angles on the Roomster shown in the other thread.

(And testing is even more important if it's a lot of work to modify the existing spoiler.)
