    Honestly if you will actually use them then go for it and then drive around with a bicycle.

    I'm getting a roof basket, but its for photography equipment, so I'm writing it off on my taxes. But I don't know how good it will look. And its definetely not JDM, as Thule's are made in Sweden and Yakima's are made in Oregon.

    Remember JDM does not mean "looks tite", it means "made to be sold in Japan".

    I like them on certain cars! Like I have a thing for them on DB1's and Sol's, but I don't like them on newer civic coupe's, not to much on DA's, and I seen one on a 4th gen prelude and it looked like sh!t.

    It shouldn't be an issue of how it looks, it should be an issue of "hey this tiny ass honda cant fit a bike inside it, so I need a roof rack." End of story. Anyone who has one for looks is a serious douchebag.

    ... and I thought all these people on IA were my friends...

    I haven't ridden a bike since the summer of 6th grade.
    I have it purely because it looks good.


    ...man, I'm starting to question myself as a person.

    The only problem is now I cant find one used for my mountain bike/kayak because almost every honda has one on it now and it drove the price up. Arg

    Edit: I cant even find a nice used trunk rack cheap.
