Questions on bike racks??
I've seen the pics of the roof rack bike carrier; now I'm interested to know if anyone here is using a trunk mounted bike rack. If so, which one and do you feel confortable transporting your bike(s) using it? I'm concerned about possible paint damage when using the trunk mounted racks.
Also interested to know if anyone uses a hitch mounted bike rack - if so how does the hitch look on the vehicle?? I'd consider this option if it didn't trash the vehicle's style. I've got a Thule hitch mount bike rank I used for my suv which I no long have.
Thanks for your replies to these questions.

The hitch rack is easier for my wife to gain access to the bikes and less cumbersome for her to lift. Roof mount catches alot of debris. Not many people see the black painted hitch receiver under the car.
