Yes, the Thule Gateway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH78VR, will fit on both the 2002 Honda Civic, and the 2008 Honda Accord. We have a video review of the Gateway bike rack for you to check out also, see link.

You will need to make sure that the OEM spoiler on your Civic is mounted flush to the trunk for any trunk mounted bike rack to work. If the spoiler is raised up off of the trunk, has a gap between the trunk and the spoiler, or has an aftermarket spoiler then no trunk mounted bike rack is recommended for the Civic.

Along with the Gateway rack you may need an adapter bar, # TH982XT, if you plan to carry womens, childrens or other alternative frame bikes. I have posted a video review of the adapter bar for you, see link.
