Well there's always empirical data like the kind that Audi had with the TT!

It's the classic struggle between esthetics, functionality/safety, performance and wanting it to look even cooler without having to shell out an extra $100g.

There are ways to measure down force if you really want to be driving over 80 a lot and need the aerodynamics to work without resorting to a wind tunnel.

I love the way Boxster race cars look but off the track on the street your going to attract an awful lot of perhaps unwanted attention and most likely some young guy in a winged flat black Honda is going to do something stupid, loose control and ruin your day.

If you can deal with that, it makes you smile and its not ridiculously expensive i'd go right ahead and enjoy.

There will always be those that are purists and prefer stock everything and those that like to personalize and pimp their ride to varying degrees. Its all good.
