Hey all...i'm just wondering if anyone has tried to put a roof rack on their eg coupe by any chance.I would like to see some pics of them as well.Thanks in advance.

 

www.gull.us/auto/rack/index.html check this thread. you need q towers and a stretch kit.

 

whether it be for looks or you're really the adventurer I admire a roof rack on an eg.

 

Not a coupe, but heres mine to give you an idea....

 

hella clean. i like your wheels. do you have honda logos on them? i know theyre off acuras. i got them in gold.

 

Thanks guys...anyone more pics so i can have more ideas?

 

the appearence section has a whole roof rack thread

 

Thanks a lot man.

 

Thanks bro... Yeah, they're LS mesh wheels with honda center caps... Im planning on changing them up a bit when I paint my car..

 

just wondering why do u need a stretch kit. ive had my rack for 2 years and depending on the application the stretch kit is a waste of money.. like for me, i use it for biking and boarding... no need for the stretch kit.

 

the stretch kit helps with weight support, distribution. you may not need it.

 

yeah, once again, those look sick. how did you change the center caps though?

 

You could get them off of SI wheels and other honda wheels. I dont know what car/stock rims mine came from since i bought them off of somebody... A honda dealer ship will charge like $10 for 1. So just look on ebay or craigslist.. I bought all 4 for $20

 

good to know i need new caps for my si's bad

 

Roof racks are cool!

 

Here's mine, sorry it's a crappy picture, I haven't done a photoshoot with it yet since I've only had it for a month or two and I took it off for autox for a while. I know it's an EK (I know it's not really an EK.......) coupe, not EG, but you get the idea. I just have a thule rack, no stretch kit and it holds bikes great, I've driven 12 hours with them up there, up to 85-90 mph with no problems. And it looks sexy. But just google civic + roof rack and you'll find the appearance thread, there are a ton of nice cars in it.

 

Also, check out craigslist/ebay for good deals on used ones. The $620+ price tag for a rack and two bike trays seems pretty intimidating but I pieced mine together for about $275 and it all is in good condition.

 

I've got those same style mesh rims as above too, with Honda centre caps - but in 14" - from a 2000 Civic DX Hatch Special Edition ... only in Canada.

To the OP: Check online classifieds. I picked up a THULE rack for my dad's 92 Si hatchback for $30. You'll need the same style for a coupe. The key piece are the short extension bars that allow the rear bar to sit further back on the roof, unlike the above poster. Thule part number 477, if I recall correctly!

 

not the best coupe out there but im workin on it

 

not a ej but eg hatch but ya get the point i love my car :D lol

 

Thanks all...i appreciate it a lot.
