Im wondering what bike rack i should get? i bike a lot, and on my old jeep i had a trailor hitch mount sportworks rack with the 2.5" or whatever the bigger size hitch is. I still have the rack, but would hate to put a huge trailor hitch on the G (i dont even know if you can put a hitch on it?) but I was thinking a trunk mounted rack or a roof rack would take away from the sexiness of the car. if i got a trunk rack, i could always take it off, but i wouldnt want my bike banging against the car, or the rack hurting the car. i am leaning more towards a roof rack, but i'm not really for sure.

any opinions on what rack to get?

Thanks!(p.s. i have had my G now for a full day now, haha, i keep going on random errands just to drive it)

I would try one of the small independant bike stores where you would get personal service over a big box store such Walmart etc.

well I think I might get this one..

it goes on and off easy and it looks like it keeps the bikes away from the car, unless someone know something bad about this one

I don't know how well your paint keep up against that. I'll find the one I've seen for you.

sweet, thanks for the pics, i was wondering what it would look like with a hitch, and if it would take away from what the car would look like.

it seemed like the Saris RS would keep the bikes away from the car, but i already have an old hitch rack that I had on my jeep

my G is silver so i dont know how much the hitch would stand out or not

The pictures is from low angle close to the ground. If you look at it from higher it basicaly invisible. I just can't find the picture from other profile. Sorry

how random is this? i was eating out and i saw a G drive by, and i noticed it had something on the back, and when it turned, i saw it was a rack. it didnt look bad with hitch and a rack, so i am guessing i might do the same. i went and found it in the parking lot when i left, it look exactly like mine, silver g35 S. i was going to photoshop a hith onto my car just to see what it would look like, and this is a lot better than photoshopping. :
