Not only wouldn't it be worth it, it would hurt the cars performance. You have a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE car.... WHY would you put a wing on the back of it?

It's hard to define "worth it" since there's a certain subjective quality to putting a wing on for simple aesthetic purposes.

Wings do have some functional purposes even at highway speeds and will still generate lift/downforce/drag at any speeds... its just a matter of bang-for-the-buck. A good wing is going to set you back several hundred dollars, its going to hurt your fuel economy at speed due to the increased drag and weight, itll also affect the resale value since someone looking at a car with a wing is going to assume a kid drove it and beat it trying to race every WRX he came across.

Wings are designed for performance cars being driven in such a way that would require the extra downforce, lateral stability, etc.

If you're not driving that way its like putting a wheelie bar on a stock AMC Pacer... maybe it makes it look better but its not going to enhance performance.

Holy Carp... I love your avatar image. BRILLIANT!

...but you forgot the wheelie bar, the carbon fiber tooth, and the body decals.

What the hell were you thinking? You call that a turtle? Seriously? My snail with aNOS and Gastropoda Racing decalsandtraction bars would smoke that sorry assed thing like it aint no thang.
