Yakima and Thule do test fits on vehicles with OEM spoilers, so anything offered by either of those companies would work.

I would recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. This 2-bike trunk rack features a 4-strap mounting system and interlocking HUB for quick setup on your Honda Civic. The adjustable arms have SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ZipStrip straps for easy bike loading. Integrated locks secure bikes and rack.


The entry level Passage, part # TH910XT would also clear the spoiler, but wouldn't include a lock. Don't let the low price fool you though. This is still a quality bike rack that provides sturdy rubber cradles that will hold your bikes securely and anti-sway cradles to prevent the bikes from swaying back and forth and striking each other or the rear of the vehicle.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
