Cross Bars for Bike Rack
I have a Yakima bike rack (that I used with my previous car's OEM cross bars) that I would like to use on my TL. Does Acura have OEM crossbars or should I get the Yakima bars? Thanks in advance!

i dont' think acura makes rack parts (they are all thule parts anyway) for the TL. only the RDX or MDX.
i'd go with yakima bars, base feet and clips. add your mounts and you're done. put a faring on it too...not sure on the fitment of the faring on the 4G, on the 3G the faring sits on the sunroof for whatever reason. i have a old school faring and made custom brackets for it so it didnt' rest on the paint, it rested on the windshield molding. this allowed the sunroof to remain functional.

I have a OEM rack on my RDX. If Acura made one for the TL you wouldn't want it. The factory rack is a POS, incapable of adjustment and very low in capacity.
