1) It's never been done.
2) Two surfaces of the body will be experiencing pressure increase, while two surfaces will be in separated flow.
3) The wake is going to take on the low pressure of the separation line at the sides, not at the rear of the spoilers. It's explained in your book, "Modifying the Aerodynamics of........................, Figure 4-14, page 80.
4) Hyundai's OEM diffuser is an unknown quantity. Without a full belly pan in front of it, by default, it cannot be effective, and may just be serving as an aerodynamic 'styling cue.'
