haha word, i hate damn posers.. "hey man i got a rack!" im like "cool, lets go biking.." and they're like "what? no i got a rack so my car looks good.." lol im like "uhhh.. cool man.. but i care if u wanna go mtb, let me know" haha..

i guess for now i have to settle for those trunk ones, if they have any of those universal ones that will fit on my car.. part of the reason i didnt get a spoiler

Cool No roof mounted rack

You will probably have to get a hitch for the car because nothing will go on the roof because of it being glass... sorry!

Yea, that is kind of the scene. People put obnoxious things on there like a Big Wheels or a unicycle.

I hate civics with roof racks it looks terrible. I hate Jettas with roof racks it looks terrible.
Anyway, the tCs roof is almost entirely glass. So one i don't know why you would want to hide it and two i dont think you can secure it on anything.
Also, I dont see how you could get a trunk rrack because the trunk is so little

Looks terrible IMO. Except maybe on the xB since it looks like a small suv.
