No..the rack doesnt get in the way at all. i would suggest that you angle them like i did so the bindings dont hit the roof of the car tho.

Personally I thought the car looked very sporty and tight (not ghetto tight but compact) with the original painted wheels. But the gold are alright.

Its funny, I have been doing research on getting one......just needed to know the right info and you my friend have the answer...09 is the roof rack year....I was going to get the bike holder, it almost looks like a fork, but fell in love with those you have on, but seriously bro from another Acura member to another I know you love how the car looks with the plate in the middle of the bumper, luxary wise but your car would look 10times better with it to the side. Looks at mines

yeah the roof rack does take a toll on the MPG's but i dont know how much because i need to do a tune up on it. new plugs....ect...ect... its just a Yakama rack you can get at most sporting places...bikes, skiing/snowboarding...shops like that. and the front part i got off ebay cause i like the bigger ones better then the new smaller ones. o and i still got the stock rims that i painted i'm going to get some better tires for them.
