Ah...like...When babes sit in the back seat, they won't have the SUN beating on their back... 
The SUN wouldn't be beating on the rear deck... 
There will be a wee bit of GLARE removed from the rear window,
so you can see the Mack Truck before it rear-ends you...

Got those kinds of drag covered, thanks. My greenhouse has the max dark glass allowable in Texas for non-limos ... and that's pretty damn dark -- 99% IR and UV blockage and approx 50% visible light filtration.
Meanwhile, back at my original question about improved drag coefficient ... anyone have the specs?

Hey everyone I got my rear window spoiler in the mail today and its awsome! The guy at Ford Australia was awsome! good communication and was letting me know at all times where it was. HOWEVER- He said that ford has stopped making them down there and that anyone that wants one needs to order quickly as they have very few left! I cant wait to put it on!

apparently it depends on where you live in the states.
i'm in MA and it cost $100 total to get it to the door.
others in, for example MI, are being charged $140 total....shipped.
Remember, these prices that I just posted are in USD.

Total shipped out to you is $253.50 AUS - Australian Dollars.
Converted to US and charged on my MasterCard was $161.60.
The amount you are charged depends on what the exchange rate is for the day.
Last week it was $153. This week is is $165.
The amount fluctuates.
I got mine yesterday from John Grundy.
It was in PERFECT condition.
John also wrote back to me in an email saying...

that there is only a few left at Ford Australia and when these are sold they will be
no longer available.
Regards from Australia
John
If anyone wants one of these you need to order them NOW!!

Absolutely no one -- not even the vendors' shills, who stalk this forum -- had anything to say about this. My guess is, this item is nothing more than eye-candy to pretty-up your ride.
