Roof rack

[Roberti 2G]

Anyone else notice the mustache

I think I noticed that before the Kayak.

Not sure if I am a fan of the roof rack tho. The pictures look amazing and I know it serves you a purpose but yeah its not for me. Nice pictures and clean install though came out really good.

looked at the first page. my car has marks from a roof rack and ive always wanted to know what it would have looked like. the marks look the same shape as what that yakama one looks like. i have also considered a stash

It's all totally removable too. Infact, IIRC, Yakima explictly recommends removing it when not in use to prevent paint issues. I can attest to that; the pads will weather and get stuck to the paint if you leave it on all year...

In regards to the marks or potential to mark, i am meticulous about my paint, so the roof was heavily waxed, and the rack will be removed every other week to be cleaned up. Plus I've seen people put them on their car while it was dirty and shockingly had no noticeable marks.

Thank you kind sir. You've inspired me to purchase my very own roof rack for year round fun

You too, eh?

What's worse is that the PO went to the dealership for some touch up enamel and it was the wrong color.. not by a lot.. but by enough.
If you post yours, I'll post mine.

I think the rack would look more at home if you made the car look like a rally car. Put some off-road goodies on the car such as bigger fog lights and smaller wheels and whatnot. It would look really great to me and plus it would probably come in handy with all your outdoor hobbies.

Took the rack off today, no damage whatsoever. All it takes is a little bit of time to clean the roof, and take it off periodically to clean it.

Picked mine up and installed it today. It looks amazing.
I noticed at highway speeds there is a significant increase in downforce/drag added to the car as a result of the front fender I'm assuming...

You mean the fairing? If I'm going on long trips and don't need the rack I just pop it off. Have you run it without the fairing at all? It's amazing what a little piece of plastic can do to keep down wind noise!

Not yet. I had to dart down to Niagara Falls NY to pick it up as they wouldn't ship it up to Canada. So, I installed it there to avoid the hassle of customs. Just noticed a somewhat "heavier" ride on the 1.5 hour trek back to Toronto.

Must say awesome picks. Might just have to invest in some kayaking lessons. But for real really clean ride and great photos. Thumbs up!

I don't get it... Unless you meant kangaroo...

Or a giant kazoo

A canoe would be a funny thing to see because they are ridiculously long to put on a car especially because canoes base at over 10 feet. my 9 foot 6 kayak looks ridiculous on my car. Always gets thumbs up and awesome looks while driving though

if you use it then keep it but if not loose it.
