An economical roof rack for your 2012 Honda Civic Si Sedan is the SportRack # SR1002. This is a complete roof rack system that includes 50 inch long crossbars that connect to your Civic's roof using clips in the car's door jambs. It includes locks to secure the rack to the roof.
For a higher quality rack the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero System has aerodynamic crossbars to reduce drag and wind noise. The bars will also accept channel mounted accessories into C-channels. For this rack you'll need parts:
49 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
DK Fit Kit # DK319
Once you have a roof rack you'll need a bike carrier to mount on it for your road bikes. The Swagman # S64720 is a low-cost option that will hold your bikes by the frame so there's no need to remove the front wheel when loading. It also includes a lock to secure the bike to the rack.
Our most popular roof bike carrier is the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail # RBC035. This is a fork mount rack that locks your bike to the rack and the carrier to the roof rack.
I've linked videos of each product for you to take a look at.
