i didnt put it on for looks. i put it on because i work on cars every day and that least thing i want is to pile dirty shit on my leather. my trunks full with a sub and FF gear. Plus the rack will give me a place to mount a VHF antenna for the fire department.
as for the rack. it was a $50 roof rack from walmart. Reese is the brand. i did modify it a little to make it fit better AND make it so my sunroof still has full mobility. causes some window noise going down the road but havnt noticed any major changes in fuel economy.
