I need a roof rack

Rack

Rack

I didn't wanna spend 300 on a rack for my 99 contour se, so I just bought a universal one for my car, looks pretty good on my car for only 35 bucks
 
It won't upload the photos of mine of my phone so ill have to post them when I get home
 
im not sure of the actual brand, but i got at pep boys one day when getting spark plugs. The fairing did not come with it, i had one laying around in my garage for a parents old car.

It's pretty sturdy, as long as you make the straps nice and tight. It's to dark to show you how now but ill uploa how I do it in the morning. The bars actually for being pretty thin can hold a decent amount of weight. I've had it on with my basket strapped to it (40lbs) and 4 bmx roughly 30 pounds a piece so it does the job. The only thing is do not go thru a car wash with it my first one the straps on it broke an it flew off in the car wash tunnel. Other than that it's been perfect for me, and I daily it with and without the basket
 
Oh and if you do decide to get the pep boys one but a thing of super glue because there's these rubber things that go on the bottom, just trust me and glue them on. They have a habit o when taking it on and off they fall off I super glued mine on the towers and its been good
 
Awesome, this makes me happy. I understand the whole, you get what you pay for idea, but for 35bucks you cant beat it.
