Question:
Hello, can a trunk bike rack be used on the Honda civic coupe 2015?...would it scratch the paint or any other damage if all 3 cycles were to verify loaded?...

You could use the Yakima Fullback # C02633 to carry three bikes on your 2016 Honda Civic, but that is risky and even though it is designed not to, it could cause damage to your car.
I have a solution that will allow you to carry a bike rack for your 2016 Honda Civic that will allow you to carry 2 bikes, but not 3, and won't touch any painted surfaces so you wouldn't have to worry about any damage at all.
You will need to install a hitch like the part # C92UR which is a confirmed fit for all styles of the 2016 Honda Civic and then install a hitch bike rack. Since this is a class I hitch, you will be limited to 2 bikes even if you got a rack that would hold more. Three bikes are not allowed and can damage the hitch and the vehicle.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
