Oh....Duh, I should have known that!
Glider pilot, so I'm very familiar with spoilers and how they effect lift on wings.
Those charts help explain why Boxster racers have big wings above the roof line as the air below that is turbulent and less effective for wings.
I'd have to say that any low trunk mounted wing is only probably useful as a drag producing device as its in the "dirty" air and be not be very effective in creating any down force.
Shirts with these graphics...cool idea. I'll need one of those.
