Trunk/hatch mount bike racks

Does anyone know of any rear hatchback mountable bike racks that fit on the FiST?

Trying to see if I can avoid having to deal with roof racks since that's a much bigger project to take on and off than just throwing a quick rear mount on to get my bike to the lbs or to a friends.

It seems to be a very poor idea, either you end up going over the spoiler, or through it. Its worth the extra work to put on a roof rack, or drop your back seat and take the wheels off your bike. That's the one I do until I buy that rack made for our cars.

EDIT:

Or this thing, I missed it last time I read that thread. Though it costs a pretty penny anyways.

Never found a strap-on that I want near me... heh

As for bike mounts, I went with a Curt hitch and a hitch mount bike rack. I bought a cheap two bike carrier, and normally don't use the side close to the car. I can actually open the hatch with a bike in place on the rack, and I don't have to worry about clearance up top or anything scratching the car.

I'm looking at a SeaSucker but there are customer reviews talking about the suction cups leaving marks in the paint. Roof racks are wicked expensive...
