Yep, got one of these, absolutley handy when you dont have a towbar,

Dont know if they work with rear spoilers as mines a wagon
Pretty sure they would so long as the bike(s) dont weigh a ton.

Only thing with these is that they come with a couple of plastic clips, dont know why as they snapped first time use >.< this is simpley overcome by a trip to bunnings to buy some straps that came with the metal ones, dont know what they're called though sorry
Also on long trips you may need to tighten them up, the vibrations tend to loosen them up a bit.

Otherwise it works perfectly.
Cheaper than it was a year ago too. ;)

hard to see from the pictures, but wouldnt those straps wear through your paint on the edges of your boot lid?
