It seems you are undecided as to form or function.
Form is in the eye of the beholder whereas function serves a purpose.
Maybe some spoilers can tick both boxes.
For form I'd try "Search" on here, or further out on the www
For function I suggest you have a look at @Petrus  Southern Belle thread.
For myself I remain unspoilt.

I have a TRD spoiler, but only because it was on the car when I bought it and they aren't cheap!

However, these cars barely benefit from a spoiler or 'wing' when being used on track.

No sane driving on public roads will ever make a spoiler useful.  Nor should it.

So it's all about appearance.

Personally I find big racing wings on MR2s faintly ridiculous.

As to whether it can be functional on an MR2, bicycles give all the answer you need  ;) 

Toyota themselves saw the chin stip fit on the FL as well as repeating the front wheel ´dams´ for the rear.
Ah and see the flip-up top down thingy behind the seats basically says it all.
Carolyn made transparent plexi inserts for behind the A-pillar. They reduce air turbulace from about 60 km/h.

Bottom line is that aero works at any speed. On my car it is over 10% extra traction at legal speeds. You can seen that as performance margin or as extra safety margin.

I personally find the subject hugely fun and rewarding as it is basically weightless extra traction at little or no cost. Done with it on my MR2 and currently at it with my vintage Vespa.

Enjoy!
