Actually, I bet that wing serves a purpose. Often, I see beaters like that full of fat people. So fat that it looks like it's riding on the bump stops. The angle of that wing indicates the driver is trying to generate upforce (or whatever the opposite of downforce is). So, when his car is full of fat people, the wing helps lift the rearend back to its optimal position.

Very clever!

The fact that you even recognized that car as a Ford is sad.

Blackfly, you must mean R&R Supershine. They have a good rep for tinting, not sure on the detailing. I'm sure it's just as good.

I hear good things about R&R Supershine. I do a good job too, though.

I think it's a Tempo (but dont remember if they made a 4 door version). If not,it's a late 80's Taurus.
