UPDATE:

I will do this for the brz/frs community. Alot of people myself included have fears of wings flying off. Well, I've collected some data for everyone.

There are other videos. Double sided tape also used to hold on panels on skyscrapers also.

Now with other car forums people have used double sided for spoilers/roof spoilers and had no issues

And, for my own experience. I didn't use alcohol to clean the surface, nor did I use the 3M tape primer. The spoiler is up on the right and left side a little, air can get under it. I may need to do it again, but it's on there. I put a decent amount of force down on it and it didn't budge. I need to take it on the highway and see how the tape holds up to snow, hot days etc..
