I did some research on the spoilers on the 2008 Mitsubishi GTS and based on what I saw it looks like the only trunk mount that is going to work is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-top rack, # HRF2. This rack is built with an extra extension that will put the top straps of the rack over the spoiler so as not to interfere with it.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
