    If you can find a good body shop to make up the difference or... you can dead center them and get away with it.

    Look for the ride thread: Rengenesis........ he has rough rails on his car.

    Edit: here is the link to it.

    I've got a pair I'm almost finished making FIT the car properly. I have one more epoxy layer to do and sand, then I should be ready for a matte black vinyl wrap and install. It's been a PITA to modify.

    To clarify, they are about 3/8" too short. They are also tapered at each end, which the 2004+ roof line does not do. I had to widen the rails for 2-3 inches on each end and also lengthen them.

    They look like poo right now with layers of epoxy, but they are smooth.

    I was going to say, they arent 2 inches short, but they arent perfect without some manipulation... Damnir has taken the meticulous approach...

    I think you meant to say "the stupid" approach. This is such a PITA I can't even begin to elaborate. Now that I have them pretty much done (or so I thought), vinyl looks terrible since the ends are not completely uniform (flat). I've started blasting it with filler/primer and I'll start sanding them out to see if they can be saved (well, look better).

    you can use finishing putty that might help a little bit to get in more flat and fill in any small imperfections
