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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 โ€œsuckerโ€ 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) ๐Ÿ˜‰
