Can't speak to the trunk mount style, but if you have road bikes (i.e. light weight) and place the bike mount on the outer edge of the roof rails (as opposed to the middle), you shouldn't have much problem placing the bike on the mount.
I have a 9-5 with factory rails and Thule fork-mount bike mounts (Velo Vise maybe?) and the combination is wonderful; easy to remove/install from the car and easy to get the bikes on and off.
Now with two kids and interior car space at a premium, I got two wheel mounts for the front tires of the bikes (mine and my wife's). I placed the wheel mounts between the bikes, one on each rail.
