The trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2011 Ford Mustang is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45Jv. This bike rack weighs under 19 lbs and has 2 retractable cables that secure the bike rack to your trunk. It also features the patented FitDial system which makes installing the bike rack a breeze by using the vehicle-specific number settings.
This bike rack is secured in place on your trunk using the One Key System, helping deter theft. The bike rack has a weight capacity of 66 lbs, or 33 per bike. I have attached a link to an installation video for this carrier. Although on a different vehicle, the installation will similar for your Mustang.
If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kid's bikes or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to ride more evenly in the carrier while providing more ground clearance. I have attached a link to a product review for the adapter bar you can check out.
