gt roof rack

i plan to not keep it as a garage queen and have the rack for snowboard and bike...

plus...i've seen a fellow member snowboarder with a custom roof rack on his gallardo/murci...maybe interesting to get a thule storage bin and color match it with the car

dunno if you remember it, but this topic came up a while back. here's the thread. but looking over it, you were involved in it so i don't know if there's any new info there for you.

edit: scroll down to post #6. i posted a link there that might help out. it was the closest thing i could find.

I just bought a Thule box for the GL we have and did some "box" research. You should first look along the roof edges and see if there's any pop-out plastics or similar, which would mean something was designed to fit in there. If not, then I can't help you. What I can help with is the box company called Packasport's boxes are fiberglass and make a better starting point for painting than most of the others which are resin.

like Red Devil said, look for the pop-out plastic trim on the roof. that's how the roof rack for my 3-Series attaches. if not, some of Thule's "fit kits" are designed to hook onto the roof, which is how the roof rack for my STi attaches. when i looked around before, back when that original thread came up, i didn't see anything for your GT. but if it's a route you'd be willing to take, i'd say to contact Thule and see if they can make something for you. i'll go snap a couple pics later on if you want to show the "hook on" type. as far as Thule is concerned, i'm very happy with their roof racks. very stable, and very easy to use.

Don't think I would ever hire a plumber that drove a Bentley. Some how I would feel like I would be over charged.

I think I am going to start a moving company with my GT.
