That isn't surprising, and if you really wanted to you could create a spoiler on top to do the same thing. But i doubt you could make it effective enough to see any results at autocross speeds unless it was ridiculously aggressive.
Although you could make it adjustable, and have all sorts of fun figuring out what is the best effective setting for limiting drag and maximizing handling at the same time.
