Default Hardtop spoiler

Figured I'd post a link in case you guys didn't see this yet. Not sure about the areo advantage but it looks cool.

Awesome! I mean, it's stuck to the car with tape. How can it not provide tons of downforce?

Would there not be a benefit to someone running a high mount rear wing? Wouldn't the spoiler direct more air straight back onto the wing?
