at least you got it right that an air dam does not create downforce, but reduces lift
I would bet that Porsche did a fair bit of wind tunnel testing, so they probably do know what they were doing and have at very least a fair bit of aero design knowledge
Throwing some piece of fiberglass on the back of the car without any actual aero testing is at best dumb and at worst dangerous
does the caymen "wing" look better, IMHO, yes. The problem is the aero of the car is different and as you stated, aero needs to be a full car integration, not just adding a piece here or there.
I guess it depends on what you are trying to gain, looks or performance
