Would work even better if it were a vortex generator ala the WRC ones that made their way into the aftermarket scene.
Not to nit pick but the vortex generator on the EVO MR was not aftermarket. It came on MR models factory. Black on the 8 and painted on the 9. I had a 9 MR. I get what you are saying though, I've seen some unfortunate examples on random cars that don't look good or functional. On the EVO they were to ensure air hit the rear wing.

OP, I like it. It's subtle.
