Aero rear wings

I have seen aero front wings for sale about the place with a little lip just behind the highest spot on the wing I presume so that the air flow separates cleanly from the top of the cycle wing. like the carbon mods bits below.

Aero cycle wings

Does any one make a rear Aero style wing? Looking at all the crud that gets stuck to the back of the car and assuming that the front ones do what I think they do it looks like it would be a good improvement.
