Does anyone know of any good bicycle carriers that I can use on my car? I have an S so the spoiler will most likely be a factor in the decision (though there is clearance under it).

The foam scratches the paint after time on most of the trunk mounted versions I have seen. I would do a hitch mount rack if I was going to be hauling bikes, and it allows access to trunk.

eh not really looking to spend that much money by putting a hitch on.. plus like i said i have an S so it would be really low.

I will only use them on my beater. They not only scratch the paint, but can distort your trunk.
I'd almost be inclined to get a roof mount option but Thule has the trunk mount from $99 up to $149

anyone have any updates on this? I got a thule speedway after the guy at ORs racks said it would fit. well, it doesn't. The spoiler is an issue......I am trying to sell it now...I'd return it, but I know for a fact that it will lead to both sides fighting over who will pay shipping costs back.
