Interesting contraption!
Are you gonna paint it red to match the car?

I may. I have a spoiler and a replacement fender I have to paint so when I do them I may also paint the rack. Here in Arizona my first thought was having to touch it with bare hands on a sunny 110 degree F day.

AWESOME! You should make a DIY thread so others can enjoy your creation! :)

oh and how do your laws rule over obstructed license plates????
You may want to mount your license plate on the bike rack somehow....

or maybe they arnt that strict where you are.....

I'm thinking you could sell those and make some $$
