First, my bike shop looked up a couple major manufacturers and said since they both don't list one for that car, they're saying they don't make one they'd trust for that car. Second, the spoiler deploys at 75, so that is not good for a trunk rack, obviously! The last option is a hitch but I don't want that, it's too expensive and looks bad on a porsche. Yeah, I saw that website of the bike rack just for boxsters but after talking to the guy it's sounding like a hassle to mount, plus it blocks the oil pan so it has to be disassembled to change oil or get into that area for any reason plus is expensive. Website in question is birdautomotive.com
? The fact that you can't transport your bike on a 2 seat roadster without getting the bird rack was what kept you from buying one?
