Argh

Well this is turning out to be a trying day. One of the necessary implements for this summer's riding schedule is a bike rack for Delilah:

Now I've been told by a couple people a model exists that has a harness that mounts straight to the chassis, which allows you to clip the rack itself on, thus negating any contact with the body. Well I just got off the phone with Golf Mill Ford (which is where I adopted Delilah) and their parts department says such a creature doesn't exist. Well whoopdie fucking doo! I've already scoured the interwebs looking for a rack that can mount without mangling the body (it bears mentioning this car has a wing, so its pretty much impossible to safely use a conventional rack).

So does anybody know where I can get an aftermarket rig that can mount to a chassis of a 2005 Mustang? My requirements are as follows:

1. Must hold at least 2 bikes
2. Must not require any welding. I'm not a welder. Never have been never will be.

There's a chance I may end up going the traditional route of some jankass temp shit from the bike shop. But obviously that's an ultra last resort.

UPDATE:

Well at least I found one rack that I think I could bring myself to trust on my car. Dero makes this. It definitely falls into my "ultra last resort" criterion, but needs must I guess.
