Bike transport

I'm requesting a little help.
I sold my Civic. It has a roof rack for bicycle transport - I was happy.
Now all I have is an S2000 (convertible) and a G35Coupe.
I tried to put the bike in the trunk but the G35 has a small trunk and bike wouldn't fit there.
I have been searching online and even went to REI but can't find a rack for bike to fit the G.
Has any member has a way to transport bicycle with their G? I prefer roof rack over trunk rack.
Thanks.

Due to the way our window closes, you won't be able to find a roof rack. I believe Thule has a Hitch mount one so you can use that. Our coupes are just too sporty for the roof rack.

sorry, but this car was intended to be a daily driver and bike transport. I should have brought my bike to the dealership to test it.
I can't use the S2000 for bike transport.
I don't want to get a third car - that's why I sold the Civic.
I'm kinda bummed b/c the rack dealership place told me they are not able to install anything on the G short of drilling holes on the roof.

I did a google search on G35 Bike rack and it came up with this: http://www.birdautomotive.com/Bike%2...niti%20G35.htm

I'm pretty sure it'd work since it's shown on the pics on the site and below.



Unfortunately the G35 coupe isn't equipped with roof rack mounts so at best, you'd have to use a universal rack. Not sure how sturdy it'd be but you can call and find out. Here's a universal bar. http://www.discount-trailers.com/car...ar_carrier.htm



From there you attach one of these mount bike racks. http://www.rackattack.com/shopdispla...unt+Bike+Racks


It looks kinda cheesy but hey, it's only for the day you'll be biking and is probably the only way you can transport a bike on the roof without retrofitting your car. Good Luck!

There have been coupes with a hitch rack, fully removable. Try a search, I too ride and would like a hitch mount if the right one is found
