Default just bought a roof rack :)

so i just bought a roof rack. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/1988613104.html
does anyone know where i can buy the cheapest thule fit kit 249? i tried using the honda accord kit that came with the rack but the doors wouldnt close hehe
also will probably need to buy a fairing to prevent whistling at higher speeds
i am very happy that i will be able to fit 4 snowboards on the ski attachment! it sure didnt look big enough to fit that many on it. pics coming up when i get the fit kit

I get zero whistling from the OEM votex rack... I can't see the craigslist ad since it's gone.

i have ordered the fit kit today and will be getting it shortly. the guy included 4 towers, 2 cross bars, 4 pads you wrap around the cross bars ( i think its for surf boards and stuff like that), 2 snowboard attachments that fit 4 boards,incomplete bike attachment, all locks and keys. all i paid was $120

Not too bad.

Although I'm biased and still dig the OEM rack. Form>function.

i like the OEM better too, but just couldnt resist the great deal that i got on my rack. i will probably be selling the rack, after the snowboarding season is over, and just buy the oem one
