Don't believe that. If they wanted downforce it wouldn't have that shape... their reasoning is purely cosmetic. The only function it MIGHT serve is to keep the dust from collecting on the back of the car.
Also, at 100+ mph in a civic I wouldn't notice a difference.... I'd still be in awe that it was able to get triple digits!
