Dude... you've just answered your own question. Go to Thule or Yakima site, or just call them up.. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you what is needed for your EF.

You can always try Craigslist.. I've seen tons of bike racks on there for dirt cheap..

why dont you just get a safari rack like that one guy on here. add a wink mirror and ebay coilovers.

or do like that one guy, get a bike rack, and then put a bike on it that is clearly for an 11 year old (17inch top tube and reflectors) that just SCREAMS poser.

dont forget the 185/50/15 tires and sportmaxx tires. maybe rust your hood, but then put a bra on it.

actually, how many miles are on your EF sedan? ill give you 1800 bucks for it and you can go buy a GTI instead.

because i hate seeing an EF go to waste. thats why. so if i can discourage someone from f*cking one up at the expense of looking like a dick, then i will do it. its called being a true enthusiast. is that a problem?

i dont think a "true enthusiast" would talk down on others about their cars. they do what they do cos they are "true enthusiast" and dont have big egos. being true is being humble. thats what i think. i dont care. i have an ef and i ride a bike. no rack tho.

talking down and advising against are 2 different things. P.S. .... i put these in the back. all of them. you 2 just sound like a couple of butt hurt teenagers. man up, and accept the fact that the kid is trying to achieve "the look". if he ACTUALLY rode, he would not have asked on a CAR forum where to get a BIKE rack. that might not make sense at first, but anyone who rides avidly, knows damn well where to get a bike rack. use common sense. the thread title might as well have been "how do i achieve the look that is popular right now"

dont mind that silver doo-hickey on the red stand. its one of those engine-thingies that you have to put like...oil and gas and stuff into. a real pain in the butt.

dude I dont know what ur deal is... and who cares whether or not i "REALLY RIDE" or not and if it just for the look. if all you do is come on here to talk crap about peoples cars.. you have a real problem and you need to find something better to do with your time.. And trust me I probably know all more about the "silver doo-hickey on the red stand" then you do..

people who try to get the look that's popular at the moment are following the current trend. Most people do this. It doesn't only apply to cars but also stuff like fashion. People are just trying to have the "new" look. LIke a lot of car shows, your going to see a lot of the same thing because that's what's in style.Then you have the ones who are trying to really stand out and be different. I think you can go too far w/ trying to be different too. There's no problem w/ doing that. I think it can help people ultimately decide which direction they want to take their car to. You can't sit here and tell me that your car doesn't look like any one of the thousands trends that has happened in the tuning world. Just let the kid build his car to the way he wants it. You don't have to be a dick to everyone because YOU think they're ruining the car. Just like all this "rice", if they like it then that's all that really matters. Let me now relate back to fashion, do you walk down the street and see someone wearing some ugly *** outfit and say, " what the **** were you thinkin when you woke up this morning to throw on that ugly *** outfit? Probably not because why would you care what someone else is wearing? You're not wearing it..but then again to me you seem like a person who would harshly criticize everyone for something you didn't like

its simple. why care about someone else's sh*t when you got your own sh*t to deal with. i guess he just wants him to stop or follow what he thinks is cool. oh btw, i aint no teenager and i dont just sit on the computer and talk crap. i actually have a life. late

and i guess he likes buff men too according to his avatar.
