Thule Roof Rack

When I was looking for info and pics I found little to nothing on putting a thule rack on the car. With the back seat not going down, you are forced to put a rack on the car if you snowboard. Here's a couple pics after the install.

This one went over my head? G35X it's ok, G37X it's not? How else and I supposed to get to the mountain? That's the whole reason I bought the car, it's a perfect car to hit Vermont with in the middle of the winter. Back mountain roads with this thing are going to be a blast.

I've always wondered too why it's OK for BMW and Audi???

It actually does not look that bad on my G37X...of course the car is black and hides it well. I only use it when I go snowboarding...it's always nice to see snowboards going somewhere on any car

The black does hide it well. The rack actually doesn't look bad at all. Looks pretty good in OP's pics.

Looks clean. How long are those crossbars?
