Yakima or Thule

Yakima uses round bars, Thule uses square bars (both black) , but Thule also has pricier "rapid aero" bars (silver) . Yakima and Thule are pretty close to price. Do the fit guide on their sites. I bought my rack from rackattack.com, but I guess some people get the individual parts off ebay and craigslist to get their whole kit. The roof rack, which consists of three parts (bars, feet, and fit kit) as a set new will cost $300

If you have any other questions

Dude, there have gotta be like 3 threads on this within the past couple months. Search to see some pictures, comments, and styles, just about everyone has a different setup on their car, so it gives you a good idea what you may like.

You can look on Ebay, a lot of people sell the complete rack, all you have to do is buy the clips that are compatible for your car to fit it. But, there are risks doing it that way. You may not get everything, and you may not even get a user manual. Trying to fit one on your car without a manual is crazy, you shouldn't do it. Especially if you want to carry something you like on the roof.

Best bet, is go to Yakima/Thule.com and build the rack according to your car. Take that list, and search amazon.com for all those parts. You may not get them all from the same site, but you'll save over $200 doing it that way.
