Yes of course. Using any predetermined shape to:

guide the shape of extensions to cars, to guide the heights of spoilers, to assess the 'aerodynamic purity' of shapes, to determine where there will be attached and separated flow etc, etc

....is just baloney.

It's just astonishing that the question even needs to be asked - just look in any aero textbook or do some on-road testing for yourself.

If only it were as easy picking some shape to give guidance to all the above things. Gosh, that would be so good.
