I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express 3 trunk bike rack # HRE3 because of the deluxe pads on the base that will protect your 2005 Honda S2000 from scratches and abrasions. The bike rack will conform to the contours of your Honda S2000. To prevent scratches, I suggest regularly removing the bike rack to clean the pads and vehicle surface from any road debris that may have built up. Also, I would apply a layer of car wax to your Honda S2000 trunk surface where the bike rack will sit.

All the current trunk mount bike racks for your S2000 won't come with a built-in security feature, but you can get a security strap like # Y02623 to keep your bike rack safe and secure. It's made out of reinforced steel. To keep your bikes secure, the cable lock # e98891 is a plastic-coated steel and will provide you an additional peace of mind.

Another route to take a look at is getting a trailer hitch like the Curt class-I # C11198. It's currently the only trailer hitch we offer that fits your 2005 Honda S2000. And of course getting a bike rack is the main goal so I recommend the lightweight aluminum Kuat Beta # B202-114. It weighs 12-3/5 pounds and the weight capacity is 80 pounds.

If you plan on carrying any women's, children or alternative frame bikes, then the adapter I recommend is the Swagman # 64005. It will allow these type of frame bikes to ride more level.

I have included a few video reviews and a informative article for you too.
