Bike Rack?
Anyone have a bike rack on their GS? i have a BMW that has little hidden screw in points on the roof for a touchless system. (BMW and Thule) Does the gs also have the screw points on the roof, or will I have to buy the kind that touches the car?

I use the "Expadition" trunk mount rack from Hollywood bike racks. It's works well and can hold 3 bikes. All of the latches are rubberized and fit well with no scratching.

Or, you can wait until Lexus has a towing hitch mount and buy a rack that fits in the hitch. That way your car is never touched and you still have access to your trunk. It may be next year, though, before there is a towing hitch for the GS430.

My guess is that you will never see Lexus come out with a tow hitch for this car. It is in the manual many times to "never tow anything with this vehicle" "vehicle not design to tow trailers" etc

Can any European members help me out?
Found these on the European Lexus website:
Why aren't these offered from U.S. dealers?
Would anyone from Europe be able to purchase these accessories for me and ship them over to the U.S.? I'll pay for all costs including shipping. Please let me know!

After contacting several dealers, it doesn't seem like I would be able to get a roof rack and bike/snowboard holders in the States. Would anyone from Europe be able to purchase these accessories for me and ship them over to the U.S.? I'll pay for all costs including shipping. Please let me know!
