I can't say what the aero effect is, but the known effect is...
Really, it's called the Ghetto-effect. Your car won't go any faster but your IQ drops 20-40 points, instantly after installation.

I didn't expect it to make my car go faster, but maybe to handle better, or stop faster, or keep my car lower to the ground at higher speeds...like say at the autobahn race track in joliet.

At most it will create a swirl at the rear window and make the rear window dirtier (dirty water will swirl and land on the glass like the back of an SUV).
The wings and spoilers put on passenger cars have no aero effect except for:
1. The massive WRX Sti / Evo wings, which probably add some downforce, and
2. The little pop up spoilers on cars like Cayman/Boxster, and then only at VERY high speeds (well above any legal speed). They added a fixed spoiler to the back of the Audi TT because the early un-spoilered ones experienced lift and instability at very high speeds.
