I also like the look of a good quality bike rack atop a sports sedan.

Is that the front bumper spoiler you see in the dealership catalogs? Looks good. You don't have any other body extras installed do you? Reason I ask is I like that look and I am considering purchasing that spoiler.

hitch + Raxter FTW!
SUPER easy to use and install:

Oh really? even with the optional roof extender? Damn that sucks! And the coupe truck is small too...I guess your only option is the trunk mount ones or a hitch mount (much safer/more secure)

Thanks! I like them too! They are EXTREMELY high quality since they are OEM in Japan. They are very secure.
Thanks!

After 3 yrs of having a loaded up Yakima roof rack on my cars in Ithaca NY, I went to a hitch rack on the G for the simplicity. It holds my bikes perfectly and stays in the parking deck when I don't need it. Never lost a bike w/ my Yakima driving between GA and NY half a dozen times but did have 4 snowboards free themselves of the front mount at 70mph causing the entire car to suddenly feel very light. W/ just the 2 load bars it was really terrible on my '99 Prelude that I had down in GA and I never kept the rack on that car.

Removed rack...not too terrible looking

The roof rack is a look that works ok for some cars but I'm just not a fan of it for entry level luxury cars. Feel the same way when I see unused Thule's on the roofs of BMW 3 series. Subarus seem to pull it off ok but it's just not worth the roof damage and loss of mileage. I spend 90% of my time riding on the road these days so the rack doesn't get a whole lot of use. Biggest issue using the G to haul bikes is getting in/out of gravel lots w/ too many dips.
