Default Luggage rack anyone?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a luggage rack that I could strap onto the trunk of my 2007 and haul 2 sets of golf clubs?My car does have the smaller factory spoiler and I really don't want to drill any holes in the trunk so I know my options may be limited.Thanks in advance for any help.

FWIW Roadster Solutions has a luggage rack:

Don't overlook using a site restricted Google search as well:

Neat but on that site: ""NOTE: International shipping charges are extremely high due to size and weight, $250.00 or more is not uncommon.

That ABOVE the $229 cost?

You probably would want the Surco DR1005 to fit the S. I have seen them for as low as $170 but up to $210 is common.
Just be careful when mounting you don't crank the mount screws too tight. You may also want to make an aluminum plates with backing to help preserve the finish and distribute the stress.

You may also want to add another cross bar or a thin piece of plywood so (depends on what is being carried) so something does not slip through the two welded bars.

Have looked at quite a few racks for the S here and abroad and this seems to be the best for the $, ease of use, and lace of removal issues.

make one out of pvc pipe and industrial strength suction suction cups. I've seen a homemade one before and it seemed to work.

I find it amazing what I can fit in my S2000. 2 sets of clubs in the trunk for a round of golf with the wife. Complete camping equipment haul for 2 nights of camping at a vintage race (food and bevs were hauled by another vehicle). Or this!

You must have bags for the trip already allocated to the trunk.

Yes,I live in East Tenn. and my plans are to drive all around Florida if and when this extreme cold moves out.I made a rack years ago when I was working for a Miata I had back then.Only tubing I found of the right size was Hastalloy C which I am sure was worth more than the whole car,used the conduit benders at work and it turned out nice.Now that I don't have access to any of that or a welder,I may try PVC or just use ratchet straps around an airline travel bag.Still,if anyone has a portable rack for sale or to rent near Tri-Cities,Tenn. please let me know.Thanks
