Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 996

Hi
Wondering if anyone has mounted a Trunk Mount Bike Rack on his 996 C2Cab. I have seen a hitch version, but I am looking for some photos of a Trunk Mount Rack (model #), which would clear a launched OEM rear spoiler.
Thanks in advance

Your "trunk" would be in the front. Seems like a driving hazard to me.

That is not the trunk unless you relocated the engine.

Keep the bike racks off your Porsche. Buy a used Honda.

ding, ding, ding. Except that I transport my bikes and kayak on my Cayenne. Porsche is okay, Carrera........ it can be done and if you live in FL or CA or similar I guess it makes sense. You will, however, eventually regret it.

Well, if it were me I would purchase the ski racks for it and get a bike carrier to fit those. Yes I know the OP has a cabriolet.
