In case anyone is looking for a good bike solution - I picked up a gururack a while ago and have been really happy with.

I'm going to modify my 1-up rack a bit so the bike sits lower, but it's fine now, really.

There's a slick license plate frame that slides down to reveal the hitch receiver.

Wow, that looks good, might consider buying a bike just to mount it on the back 😉

Ha!

They aren't cheap, but 1up makes a great looking and functioning rack!

That looks really neat - how much structural work is done for installation?
Have you seen the giant “sucker” type mounts that are being used too?

I've heard the 'sucker' mounts work really well, but wasn't sure with the ppf I have on.

It's a bit of work for sure - you have to take the rear bumper cover off and replace the impact beam with one that's been retrofitted. Oliver (from gururack) can help source a core or they're available off of ebay.

Looked pretty easy to do, but I had a high end body shop do mine and they were really impressed with the way it was constructed.

My buddy with a c63 coupe loved his seasucker. Holds on stronger than a kungfu grip (was gonna make a hooker joke, but I'll pass this time) 😉
