Err... what are you doing listening to the car from outside? Unless you are some show-pony who is conscious about the external sounds of the car I wouldn't worry.

The car would sound stupid from the outside if it rattles like a bitch. The whole point of soundened the rest of the car is to eliminate rattles, so why not continue this to major external rattles...like his spoiler?

If it's a factory spoiler then i think you'll find they are hollow...

You could try removing it, and filling it with expanding foam, that would reduce a fair amount of rattle...

Also try a adding a foam strip before re-attaching the spoiler, this will stop any movment between bodywork and spoiler...

Should do the trick..
