This might be crazy, but some people don't care how they look because they use it for carrying their bikes.

well, back on topic , has anyone ever run into mounting problems due to the stock hatch spoiler? i was thinking just to put the straps over the spoiler, will it harm anything?

I used to work at a bike shop and the best brand out there that Ive worked with is the Yakima racks. They have a special rack for cars with wings. Dont buy the rhode gear stuff because they are very low quality and many people have fitment problems.

You can alway strip the interior and make a custom bracket for your bikes so you can just slide them in thru the hatch.

well, my hatch is stripped, but its hard to cram 3 bikes and 3 humans in, legally that is. we fit 4 bikes and 4 kids in there, but there was no room at all!

It will harm everything!!!!!! Ur spoiler will brake off, ur tekico shocks will snap in half and ur Azenis will blow out!!!!!!!!! Not to mention all this will happen rite after you make ur 16 second 1/4 time

Naw, just playin!!!!!!!!!!! Greg told me about the bike cramming incident. I could only imagine
