The "spoiler" on Porsches that pop up at 75 MPH are true spoilers, meant to break up the air pattern so the rear end doesn't get light ... I do not believe they create any downforce.

Generally speaking a spoiler is a body panel of whatever shape is determined to create the needed effect.
A wing is just that, and airfoil attached to the body through some means.

I'd like to have $5 for every "wing" I've seen that is obviously set up incorrectly.
