    Default Trunk Mount Bike Racks

    I saw a few posts but nothing concrete about what people really use. Going to Watkins Glen for the July 4th weekend IMSA Wethertech race weekend with my son and we are staying at a local campground and need to take our bikes

    I do have the Maverick man CF real spoiler which has a higher lip then OEM and my fear is straps marring it up. So that being said, does anyone have any recommendations on a trunk mount rack or is the roof mount cross bars and related rood mount rack the best way.

    Just need options, usually we take the wifes SUV when we take long trips as a family, but since this is the boys, rather take the G8GT there

    Thanks for any insight

    Well scratch the trunk mount. Got the OEM roof rack and got 2 Inno Fork Lock III bike rails. I think that is a better option anyway. WIll post picks once done.

    Sounds like a better plan than scratching the paint

    I eneded up with the GM Factory roof rack ordered from Pace, and got 2 Inno Fork Lock III bike rack rails to attach. Clean, secure and total cost for the set up, under 400 bucks. Way cheaper then aftermarket and the factory roof rack just snaps on and is very securely mounted.

    Now off to Watkins Glen for the upcoming IMSA Waethertech race : )

    Nice. Please post a short review regarding your Inno racks next time. I'm curious about their quality.
