Hey guys,

Odd question as most of the questions we have on here are related to performance and maintenance issues. But i was curious if anyone on here had a trunk mounted rack that didn't interfere with our spoilers? I'm looking for a 2/3 bike trunk mount.

I'd prefer to stay away from the roof mounted because they are way over priced.
 
^the only style that would work is one with a hidden hitch, anything else would probably be in the way (and then you can't really use the trunk anyway, so that's kind of a pain...but with the price of a hitch, you are close to a roof rack so...
Just browse the FS ads and you'll eventually find something. I paid about 30-40% of the value of a new one, but it took a while before I found what I wanted.
Full Thule setup FTW :)

This response is a little late, but I would stay away from the trunk mounted carriers. I used to have one (not used with P5) and it would always misalign my trunk lid. I would realign it each time. But then it got to the point that it started to bend the inner edge of my trunk lid from me hitting bumps causing the carrier to bounce and rebound, each time pulling the lid at the mounting points. Mine was only a 2 bike carrier. Go roof mount or hitch.
