Well, the air flow will have passed already, but LtNoogie put it on his car and it still redirects the airflow towards the middle. So, if you have a mid-hatch spoiler, it'll direct it towards there, creating more downforce (which I'm not sure why you would want to do that on a fwd car).

Garm had one on his front end. You can ask him where he got his if you really want one.

Because at high speeds where aerodynamic aids will actually show any kind of effect, the rear of the car is effected by lift.
