No way. If the wing were angled with the leading edge lower than the trailing edge, the upward deflection of the airflow would result in downforce applied to the rear of the car. At street speeds you'd need a fairly severe angle to be remotely effective. There is no upward deflection of airflow. There is no "reverse lift" or any other such thing. The wing is a decoration. That's all. And if you like that sort of thing, there's nothing wrong with that.
If you think you need downforce, throw your tools into the trunk, or better yet, keep your gas tank full.
