I would assume a fair bit of down force but who knows maybe it is just for show. Dimensionally it is pretty similar to the spoiler on a friends top sportsman car (6.90 car) and the amount of down force on his chassis is really significant on the top end based on the reading from his shock travel sensors. If necessary I can mess with the angle of the spoiler at some point as the support struts are adjustable. I am just pleased that it turned out ok.

I'm sure you wont have to change any angles... the air
is falling off the roof line and its that wing pretty
hard... depending on speed you should see a few hundred
pounds of force

I would have a hard time calling the Op's addition a wing, mainly because air only acts on one side of it. Regardless, by adding/reducing the "gurney flap", it can be significantly tuned, even though it really is more of a spoiler in this case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_flap

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

OHHHHHHHH.......you meant a wickerbill. 
O.K. , point taken. But it looks great and should add stability as well as down force. I like it.
