Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX350 w Spoiler
Question:
Thinking about buying this for my SUV. I want to know once the bike rack is installed, can I still open my trunk? Thanks.

With trunk mounted bike racks you do not want to open the trunk with the rack installed. Not only can this potentially cause the trunk to slam down and potentially injure you, but the clamps can also bind up in the hinges and dent the vehicle.
The Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 though and would be a great trunk rack option.
If you plan on carrying any womens 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.
