Bike rack for RX-8

I need to transport my road bike on my RX-8 but I am reluctant to use a trunk mount rack because it could scratch the car. Is a receiver mount possible?

Related to this question, is there a ski rack that can be used with the RX8? I know you can get one for the Mini Cooper.

Why can't you use the trunk mount and just use some padding in the iffy spots where it might rub or scratch?

way back before the cars were out, over at the MazdaUSA Irvine center, they were seen test fitting a roof mounted rack for bikes/skis. they were also test fitting the covers that day. i, however, have not seen any mention of a roof rack since then and that was over a year ago.
