Guess what I'm putting on
So my roadbike this week(Cannondale CAAD 8 for those interested) so I have to finally out the rack on to get it from the shop. Pics installed later on today.

Sorry about the words not making sense in the first paragraph. 16 hour shift + posting with am iPhone doesn't mix, lol. I looked into the Yakima but I wanted the aero bars as well as wanting everything else in silver so I went with Thule

not trying to be a dick or anything of that sort but more out of curiousity and seeing it almost become "trendy" but whats the deal with the roof racks... I understand in your case you use it for your bike and that makes sense to me but is there more to it?
In your case its usable and practical but do people do it "for looks"... or is it some other kind of trendy thing to do?
Regardless, I think it looks good. Dirty or not... your car always looks good

It looks very nice with the racks installed
My Yakima rack was a bit annoying to setup the first time. How was your experience setting it up? I was kind of worried about my bike falling off while I was driving lol, but it held up extremely well
. I really like the way the roof racks look on the cars so I understand why some people would get it for looks like the socal example.
The 5th picture looks like your car has the Gundam head antenna (the way the tire holder is positioned
)

Bike or not, I put my rack on because it just gives the car a different look. Rather than the same shit we have been seeing for years after years. I hardly ride anymore but still got my bikes, my Haro which is worth about 1,000 right now and a mountain bike.
I spent about 950 on my rack, if I use it or not, that shit still looks offical.

i got the whole bra from a member on here for like 30 bucks if i remember correctly...couldnt beat it. now i just use the nose part if im going on long tips.
well i only have one bike i got to carriers because in my opinion it looks better, so someone else with another bike wasnt an issue. they're only like 40 bucks anyway if i need another one ill just buy it

no rub marks. when you install the towers be sure not to slide them back and forth across paint and that the paint is completely clean. that way there is no dirt to get caught between the rubber piece and the paint.
