I understand theres no easy way to attach a bike rack on a coupe.
I'm Thinking of having a custom low profile hitch fabricated and then bolted or welding on. Of course it will be very clean and very well made, plus it will be placed low and under the car. Then i would be able to attach the rack and remove it when not needed. I don't believe it would add up to much weight if i used alum. any one made a rack for there Crossfire? or have any ideas? Thanks.

Are you going to re-route the exhaust in order to do this?

 

eh.. is this what our poor cars came to be...

 

Have you checked out the racks which clip/strap to the hatch?

(Of course you would have to disable the spoiler while the rack is in place.)

Could it double as a spare tire carrier???

 

indeed....

i remember seeing a bike rack for a Boxter...man did that look funny.

 

Not Planning to re- route anything.

 

it is disapoing that some people see our cars low enough to put ridicolous (**** like bike racs, underbody lights.. on them.. imagine a porsce turbo an sl or others car like that with one of those? NOT going to happen cause thankfully they cost enough for people to consider adding garbage to them..

re-route the exhaust for a bike rack... that is absolutely sick..

 

ouch im usually an a$$ hole when it comes to this stuff but im not going to even touch this one.....

 

anychance someone can make up a small ski rack that fits over the rear window? or goes on the roof. Would love a little Thule rack.

Crossfire a car, just a car...and if a bike rack is needed for it so be it. Check Yakima, they may have something that fits. I put a Yakima roof rack on my Lexus SC400 and traveled quite a bit with it to bike races and training rides. Worked fine for me. Now, I need to find a roof rack for my Roadster!!!

 

I agree bolt on stuff looks like crap. Thats why you build a very well designed and engineered custom hitch that very low profile and thats removable. Of course if your not an engineer or designer, it might be
over you head on how to go about such a challenge. I have both a late model truck as well as a New Chevy SSR convertible truck also discontinued. that I can carry a bike in. I also own two street rods. Perhaps you only own your Crossfire. The point is if I want to take a bike to the beach for the day and do it in my Crossfire i can. I also could leave the bike at home or take my truck, or give up bike riding, or just walk. I tend to think it will be a challenge to build something that looks good and has a function, It may look like crap it can always be removed, But at least I'm not worried the world will look badly on me because i have a bike attached to a sports car for the day or I'm not cool, or the Designers at Chrysler are going to have a stroke. Try being positive instead of tearing things down before you even know what your talking about.

i don't know if a Yakima would work. have to check their site and see if they have the gutter mount things. i'm thinking the frameless windows would make it a no-go. same with the hatchback mounts, typically they go around a metal hatchback frame and with ours being mostly glass on the edges i don't think it'll work either.

the Boxster thing was a Porsche accessory and i think it attached to those little "square" pads on the roof. the same ad showed a Christmas tree on the rack...oof!

i've also got two utilitarian vehicles i can schlep the bike in. if i'm going to have to leave a vehicle at the trail head i'd rather leave one of my Jeeps unattended for a few hours.

hmmm...my bike is still rattling around the back of my truck, i guess it's time to bring it in for the winter. thanks for the sorta reminder...
