Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with Spoiler
Hollywood Racks has some trunk mount racks that they indicate will fit your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with factory spoiler. You can use the Express 2, # HRE2.

Can Hitch Adapter Be Used with Class I 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Hitch Receiver
Since the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24659 you got for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix is a Class I hitch I don't recommend using an adapter like the Brophy # HT5R because it reduces the weight rating of your hitch receiver by 50% and it causes more movement while going down the road. The Draw-Tite hitch you purchased has a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs so by using this adapter you have 100 lbs to work with, both for the rack and your bike. Technically you can do this...

I am not sure of the exact transmission in your 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix, but from my research the location of the transmission return line on your transmission is the horizontal line leaving the transmission. You should be able to follow that line to either the top or bottom of your radiator. The easiest way to verify which line is the return line is by starting the car and putting it in drive for a few minutes. The cooler of the two lines will be the return line. If you can tell me...

How Far is Receiver From Ground on 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Your concerns about scraping the ground are certainly understandable, so I'm happy to help you out. The Curt # C12225 is going to be approximately 7-1/2 inches from the bottom of the receiver tube to the ground on your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. In regard to custom mounts, that's essentially what these hitches are, having been designed specifically for makes, models and years of certain vehicles. There would not be any type of custom hitch specifically made to make the receiver higher.
