Trunk bike rack

So last night I went to target to shop around and I saw a trunk rack that fits 2 bikes. I was goin to buy it but I didn't know if was going to fit because of the spoiler. I would like to know if anyone here has one and if so what brand and where to buy it

I own the Yakima Quickback 3. I bought mine at Sports Authority. I paid around $225 (including the Sports Authority warranty that I got suckered into buying although Yakima provides its own warranty for the bike rack).

All of the guys I know use the Yakima and Thule racks for the roof. I haven't seen the trunk ones, though. Sorry.

Call thule or yakima customer service, Imo roof racks are better / safer because you dont have to worry about some jackass rear ending you and messing up the bikes. The roof racks look better too

They both have nice roof racks for our cars.

Also, you don't have to worry about people running into it in the parking lot because their huge truck or SUV doesn't quite fit...
