Installing a bike rack!!!

Does anyone know how to install a bike rack for a Nissan 2000 Maxima.

Iam looking to install a hitch rack that gets installed to the chassi of the car instead of that wires that hold a bike to the back bumper ( I was told not to go for that as it could damage the back bumper).

Any ideas!!!!!

Contact AdamK...I think he's got a bike rack on the roof of his car?

If you take both wheels off you can get it in the trunk.

My mountain bike goes in my trunk with the wheels off. Sucks when it's full of mud thou...

I have a trunk mount rack and I've never had a problem with it. It never leaves marks on my paint. Buy a good quality rack, and also use some extra rubber protection for your paint. I found a small sheet of 2mm black rubber works well. I cut it into squars and put that between the foam pads and my paint.

It keeps the mud out of my car's trunk!

I have one that mounts to the hitch. No problems with it at all.
