ok ya that looks good , i have always had imports so the roof rack just looks natural so i wasnt sure what it would look like hahahha. im for sure going to buy the clips i need today and throwing it back on the car. thanks for the pics your car looks great .

so long as you actually use it i love the idea (i own a rack my my scoob). i just hate when dorks ride around with them on for no reason at all besides 'the look'.

[01gtp1506]

lol well im a bicycle mechanic and avid mountain rider so i think it will get used. besides that if you saw how much i have already used it just from the wear on it there wouldnt be a question . Thats a great point though .

I really want to get one to haul the scooter I built around and my snowboard haha. Wheres the best place to pick one up at? And you were saying somehting about needing certain clips? Im guessing when I buy one it will be specific for my car so I will get the correct clips?

[01gtp1506]

you need a set of q towers , 48 inch cross bars, q80 clips and a tray . there are a lot of trays out there like the boa which is the cheapest and so on , pick the one that works best for what is going to be on your rack. your best bet is to get a whole used set up for cheap on craigslist and then just switch the clips.

Would something like this work?

48'' Universal Car Top Roof Cross Bars Crossbars Luggage Cargo Rack Window Frame | eBay

i know you dont want to hear this but just like anything else you get what you pay for and that is very cheap and universal usually means poor fit . I dont know about you but when i have my bike mounted to my car i dont want it going anywhere , i have way to much money wrapped up in it. Spend a little extra and get something like this........Yakima Towers (4), Crossbars (2) and Fairing

[01gtp1506]

btw you can cut those cross bars down just take 10 inches off of them thats what i did.

Yea thats what I figured, I just know il barely use it. But Im going to keep my eyes open for a nicer one. Thank you!
