Yes, because that's the way 99% of people install it and 3M VHB can hold 400 ounces per inch.

Let's be real, trunk spoilers are a mostly cosmetic piece, weigh next to nothing, and aren't under tremendous aero loads even on the track.

I have no qualms about you attaching your spoiler the way you see fit, but to suggest that it's "irresponsible" to secure one with 3M tape is on the brink of ridiculousness.
