Hello everyone,

Looking to get a roof rack with the basket install for functional purposes. Does anyone have it done and which supplier are you using?

I asked my guy over here at rack solid in Santa Monica and both those companies don't make anything specifically for the FRS and BRZ. But here is a photo of it done. I just need to know witch landing pads did they use. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418670268.707080.jpg

I have an account with https://www.seasucker.com/ not sure if you can adapt bars/basket to it. I could setup a group buy if people were interested.

Do you have the part numbers for everything? I'm looking to do the same thing but I cannot find the part #'s - still reading all the threads.

@08stiguy I'd like to know the part numbers for the cross bar and mounts please. And also a couple of close up pics of the mounts that secures to the car.....if you don't mind.

I'm planning to throw on a bike carrier on those cross bars.

Edit: is this the one you have? http://www.yakima.com/shop/racksyste...-roof/q-towers

Apparently the Q-Clips are vehicle specific.....so which ones did you get?

You are correct sir 👍🏻I have a bunch of carbon fiber vinyl so I cut some pieces to protect my paint.
