Thanks gents- it has felt good to lean into this car a bit more vs holding out for the next one. I may or may not have ordered an E30M GC kit on black friday for it.
Jake found a way to make the sandwich bike rack idea happen. It'll have a gusseted plate going down to the spare tire well to combat deflection once its done- there was no way to make it strong enough without a second attachment point, which unfortunately will involve some drilling. He's going to a run of 10 of them once I test it out a bit. I'll try to remember to link that here once its time. We're in full winter swing, so it'll be a few months.
Unfortunately none of the old design was useable at all.
