hi, i am looking for a hatch/trunk bike rack for my 8 ideally, or a roof bike rack suitable for aluminum roof on MR. i did search, but only saw pics for regular 8 roof.
anyone has trunk/hatch bike rack on his 8MR? pics pls.

 

With the aluminum roof and thin sheet metal trunk, such things do not exist. There is one guy who has done it on his RS, I believe, but it's really eating into the metal.

 

thanks for the reply.
i kinda regret that i traded in my 02 WRX wagon...... looking back, it was a mistake..... should have kept it and just bought the evo on the side or later....

 

there was a thread about roof racks.
I believe the yakima roof rack works as it grabs the door frame part. The thule does not as it rests on the roof itself. hope this helps.

 

this is just a stupid idea why would you put on the car whats next your going to haul a boat.

this is why they made SUV for

 

i have a IX MR and i have the yakima roof rack it does not even touch the roof it works fine goes on and off in minutes you can get a bike rack board or ski or whatever floats your boat the thule toches the roof s dont get it

 

This is a stupid answer. Not everyone can afford, or wants two vehicles.

I'll be looking at something for myself and my Mt. Bike, and Kayak later in the year.

My Evo is my SUV.

 

i don't want to spend more money for another car, that's why i am looking a solution/alternative to this at this moment.
i know it is probably better having another practical vehicle, but look, it is just a hobby/recreation activity, and you expect everyone to buy a SUV?
maybe you make very good money, but others don't, u know.... be respectful

 

You are an idiot. That, or you're too busy living your life a quarter mile at a time.

There are more than a few of us who enjoy outdoor sports. I spend a few days a month mountain biking, and am currently storing a canoe and a kayak at a friends house because I don't have a rack for the evo. I don't really want to put one on, but it would make life a lot easier when I go out to play. Stuffing the bike in my trunk is a pain, too. A rack might not be jdm or whatever you think is cool, but they are functional for those of us who have fun outside.

If you don't wish to contribute in a positive manner, might I suggest going off and finding those " next 10 seconds"

 

You can use the saris trunk mount racks. I used mine before. altho let me tell you that all trunk racks will scratch the paint a bit with use!
