I have a great 2-bike trunk rack for you. Unfortunately, the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT only fits non-SI sedan models of 2017 Honda Civic. It will not fit your coupe model.

However, with that being said, a great alternative rack is the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. Apart from the same 35-pound per-bike weight capacity of the Passage 2, the rack also comes with locks included to prevent theft from your bikes as well as the rack itself. With the Passage 2, you would have to purchase those additional accessories. The FullBack will fit SI and non-SI coupe models.

If you go with the FullBack 2, Yakima recommends mounting the upper hooks in "anchor mode." I went ahead and included a page from the instructional manual that walks you through this easy process.

If you plan on using the FullBack 2 with a women's bike, a children's bike, or bikes with a step-thru frame, you will need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005. This adapter provides your bikes with the straight, horizontal plane that is required to mount to the arms of the rack.
