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!

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.
