Alright i know its a little early but im thinking about buying a snowboard rack for the FA...anyone got one? If so, whether it be FG or FA, list some pics and what they are and around how much you payed...

 

i really need to stop putting my boards all ghetto style in the car and buy one of these. dont think i can do it though.......

 

you can always get one at a ski shop (dunno if it will put marks on your paint) or check honda out they might have them.....

you know its funny. my fathers '03 996 twin turbo has 4 small flip pannels on his roof (from factory) for a ski rack... now who the hell takes that car for a ski trip. its awd but damn.

 

Here check out my sig on racks and you can pick out from either Thule or Yakima the rack that will fit your car.

If you have any questions let me know

 

I have a Yakima rack on my 07 LX coupe. I paid $150 for a used set of control towers, 58" bars, sks locks and big powderhound ski rack. Then I spent $50 on a new 50" fairing, and $60 for the q-clips required for my car. So I ended up paying $260 total. Check your local craigslist. You can find some pretty good deals there. Also just bought some Yokohama studless snow tires. Planning on getting some new snowboard gear this years black friday and hitting the slopes as much as I can.

Here are some recent pics I took along the pacific coast.

 

you need wheels

 

Waiting on my new job, then a new car will come sometime next summer.

You mean Q-towers. Control towers fit into a track or factory track, and then you must buy a landing pad #1-9 to fit it into the track depending on what kind you have.

Common mistake of product. It happens alot.


And yes Craigs list are nice but some people beat on them and break them and then sell them and once you get them, its hard to get them to fit right. Like the old sytle q-towers, with the 7mm bolt from the side to tighten the bar to the tower. (What a pain in the a$$, they are to re-fit onto other cars) Find a new set Gen4 q-towers. Those work great

 

Yeah the Q-towers are what I have, the ones with the allen key on the side. They're very easy to install and adjust.

 

i have a thule rack.

i got my for dirt cheap since i work for Sports Authority and got it for proform price (30% below wholesale).

$550.00+ retail.... i paid around $250.00 for everything.

 

On my audi i got a free rack from yakima (for bikes and canoes) worth over $300, and to outfit my girlfriends car i got a free rack worth over $250, but i had to buy clips and windjammer. It cost me $40 all together.
