I had the bird the rack until someone smashed into it. Had to take it to a mechanic to get it up on the lift for removal. The owner of the company installed it for me at his place as mine was prototype of some sort. Took about an hour, would have been faster if we had a lift. A good system but you had to be very careful when using it as something was always dangling over the trunk.

The other option is the Wilwood rack that attaches to the license plate and used a hitch mount. Very expensive as you had to buy Yakim or Thule bike carriers in addition to the wilwood unit. I was going to give this one a shot using the new ultra light modern looking Saris Thelma bike carrier. But the Willwood guy never wrote me back.

Both methods seem well regarded.
