Question:

Hello. The Limited trim of this car has a spoiler.. What trunk-mounted bike rack will fit it? I only need to carry one, so I dont need anything that handles more than two bikes. Thanks.

For your 2014 Subaru BRZ I recommend the Yakima FullBack rack # Y02634. This rack was designed with vehicle spoilers in mind. It has a long reach to go up and over a spoiler. I have included a link to a video review of the rack for you.

If the bike you will be carrying does not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
