BIke rack for an LS coupe

I have an 05 LS coupe and am in the process of purchasing a bicycle and want to be able to transport my bike around without having to drop the seats and take off a wheel. I had got a bike rack from my father but it really didn't the trunk without the chance for serious scratching. I need to mention that my car has the little spoiler on it... from the sport package. And am obviously looking for a trunk mount removable rack.

Hopefully someone has some experience with suck a rack... Thanks and sorry if it is the wrong forum, wasn't sure where it was supposed to go.

Did you try googleing it? I think the racks that go on top of your car might be universal. Happy hunting

I did try googling and got some decent results, but I wasnt sure if the rack could get over the spoiler. Also I don't think a roof rack is an option because I have a sunroof. But maybe I am wrong in that regard.

Try getting a bike rack that fits 2 or more bikes. That way the rack is longer and you can angle it up to clear the spoiler and make sure your pedals don't scratch the trunk by being too close. That's what I do and it works good.

You could get a trailer hitch put on and then get a bike carrier for a trailer hitch. (Yes they do make trailer hitches for our cars, I have one).

Yeah i forgot about that!! That would be your best option, then nothing would get scratched.

I have a Yakima rack that fits under my high rise spoiler. You could go to saris.com and enter in the vehicle.
