I always like a nice rack, but it doesn't make up for the fail on the tow hook and the extra set of fogs...

Well everyone should, that's partially the reason things have led to what happened as to why we are all here(I don't even know if I said that right, oh well). If someone doesn't, may they get the help they need.

2 sets of foglights I believe would be illegal in any state, right? Not a fan of the headlights. The OEM style fogs might have halos on them too, can't tell with a small pic.

Well I bought it new so it was up there in price. Depending on the configuration you buy, such as the rails and if you get the locks (which I recommend) and or a fairing, the price will be different. This setup cost me $700 bucks new but I bought the best fork bike rails they had cause my mountain bike has larger tires and the rails hold the bike in super tight and perfect. I've compared other rails to the Super Sprocket rails that Yakima makes, and honestly its one of the most solid and reliable rails out there and super easy to use and mount a bike on. If your bike doesn't have to large of a tire and isn't that heavy, I'd recommend the Viper fork rails as I love them too.

I bought:
Q-Towers & Clips
2 Round cross bars
Fairing
SKS Locks
Super Sprocket rails

I've seen people buy used for $200-$300 (with cheaper rails) but I wanted a new setup for mine and don't regret the money spent. Me and the girlfriend just throw the bikes up there within seconds and go. Best part about the setup is that everything locks together with the SKS locks so that the rack and its parts nor your bike can be stolen unless the key is used to unlock it all. Best investment yet...

Here's another pic on the car:

You can go to Yakima.com and they'll tell you everything you need. Just go to the Fit My Car section. Prices have gone up since last year I see. Before it was only $276 for the base system (no fairing). Now it's $300. I need to go ahead and finish mine.
