Bike Rack for coupe

Has anybody found a roof rack or trunk mount bike rack for the G coupes?
I've tried the Saris bones trunk rack but I was impressed with the fit. I use to have a roof rack for my prelude that was great (easy on, easy off). But they don't make them for the Gs (yet?!?!?!)
I've done a lot of research but nobody makes anything worth the $$.
A Saris dealer is trying to help me out (ordering different mounting clips) on the Saris Roof rack. It's a good looking rack but I'm not sure how it will fit with the windows so close to the door (and moving of windows doesn't help).
Please let me know if anybody has found something. I'll let you guys know the outcome of the Saris Roof Rack.
Thanks

A bike rack for the coupe? You're kidding, right?

If not, you really should have considered an SUV or sedan/wagon. The G coupe is not made to be a bike hauler.

What's next, someone asking about a tow hitch for the coupe to pull their boat?

LOL that's exactly what I think too.
EMO: Pls consider not even look for a rack for the coupe?

Re: Bike Rack for coupe

dont worry emoreno a lot of people laugh at that idea here. I have asked the same exact question a while back. I too want a roof rack or a trunk mounted one. Something that is easly removable, so i can take it off as soon as i dont need it. As far as getting an suv or a truck instead that somebody mentioned, not everybody can afford to have 2 cars, and definatelly not just so he can houl his bike around. Thats all i want to do, no boats for me, yet Also if this is such of a funny, ridiculous idea why is there a bike rack available for porshes ??? you know those people could afford an suv also .. no ?

Amen brother G35Gnome. I'll make make sure to let you know if i find something.

The other funny part of this is, that infiniti makes a roof rack for the sedans.

I know what you guys (and women) are talking about. I don't want a roof rack the has 100ft bars coming out of it and ugly. I had one on my prelude that was the best I've seen. Here's an example of one on a Audi TT.

and another

And the last

These are not ugly roof racks. This is actally what I'm looking for.
Wish me luck : )

Ahh yea, the sedan is nowhere near the coupe man (sarcasm) so thats why it has a roof rack available.
