Recommendations for trunk-mount bike rack?
Hey folks,
I wanted to "bump" my thread from the Sedan section since the question also applies to Coupe owners.
So: what trunk-mount racks do you coupe-driving guys & gals w/OEM spoilers use?
Again, I'm pretty set against roof or hitch mount racks, so I'm primarily only interested in trunk-mount options that'll clear the spoiler.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I wanted to "bump" my thread from the Sedan section since the question also applies to Coupe owners.
Recently bought a bicycle and I'd like to get a trunk-mount rack for it. I have already considered and rejected roof-mount racks (don't want to have to lift ~25lb bike on and off the roof) and hitch-mount racks (car's already lowered so I'm worried about scraping, plus costly to pay for hitch equipment & installation on top of the hitch rack itself).
I've got an OEM-style spoiler, so I'd need a rack that can clear it. So far the consensus among non-G drivers is to get one of the following (with the Saris options getting more far more recommendations than the Yakima):
Saris Bones 805 (Amazon.com : Saris Bones 805 (2-Bike) Trunk Mount Rack : Automotive Bike Racks : Sports & Outdoors)
Saris Bones RS (Amazon.com : Saris Bones RS (Rachet Strap) Trunk Rack: 3-Bike; Black : Automotive Bike Racks : Sports & Outdoors)
or the Yakima KingJoe 2 (Amazon.com : Yakima - King Joe Trunk Bike Rack : Sports & Outdoors)
