I know "to each his own", but I love it! Plus, living in Utah and driving a C4S Cab means a hardtop is almost a necessity. Not a bad ride up to the ski resorts at all.

 

I like it. Wrapped or painted?

 

I like it too! Nice.

 

Thanks guys! My car is wrapped in a matte grey vinyl. The original color is black on black.

 

Love that look. You car looks great Rock'n R.

 

Thanks ECS!

 

If I wrap my hood and do not like it will the wrap hurt my paint? Will it hurt it over time? The rack looks great! I drive mine year around too!

 

Wrap the rack! Haha,Looks great!

 

Hey Cheekybird, I sure hope not. I was assured that the wrap would come off and leave the paint underneath pristine. I do have my fingers crossed however.

Thanks JSavinoJr! I do get some pondering looks from people as I motor down the road with bikes on top.

 

Picture of the rack in use. Porsche and snow bikes. Cool pair.

 

What model # is the Yakima rack, exact fit or did you need to modify? What did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

 

Hi Wausau, It is not a direct fit. You will need to drill holes in the hardtop to mount the Yakima Landing Pads. It's a pretty simple procedure, but I stress, measure and make sure the bars are completely level before drilling holes. I didn't want my cargo box to not sit level. Here is the write up that I followed: https://rackattackboston.wordpress.com/tag/porsche/

I used 58" bars so that I could mount the 2 bike racks on the ends. There is one nice thing about this system though, I can take it off and only have the small mounting pads on top of the car. It is a slick system. Email me if I can help any further.

Part list:

Yakima Landing Pads #7 (4)
Yakima Roof Towers (4)
Yakima 58" bars (2)
Yakima Highroller bike mounts (2)
Inno cargo box (1)

Total cost would be around $350 for the Yakima Landing Pads, Towers and the bars. Highroller Bike racks I think were around $185 a piece and the Inno cargo box was $600. Total was somewhere around $1,300.

 

I love the wrap, I have a whole role of the same color, ready to wrap it! How many fit did you end up using (assuming you did it yourself/ordered the parts).

Thanks!

 

Hey Gurukid, I didn't do the wrap. I bought the car off a Porsche dealer that offered to send it out to get it wrapped for me. All I did was choose the color and pay the bill. Good luck with the wrap, I love it as well. I love the look.

 

very nice
