That is not my signature, I just have my Spritmonitor link in there and as it seems I'm still too new.
Currently in place 1 out of 57 cars of the same model.
Anyway, I'd assume a downsloped fairing would be less than ideal as it creates a high pressure zone of stagnation in front of the tire.
If it was designed like the leading edge of an airfoil, you wold have far less stagnation in front of it and divert the airstream around the tire more efficiently.
Also:
Keep in mind the straight flaps from the factory usualy tend to have some angle to divert the airstream away from the tire.
