dude, are you kidding. roof racks make your car look super aggressive (given the right stance and flushness of wheels).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with roof racks.

Also - to the guy who suggested buying a subaru, or an EVO (both $30k cars) instead of a $200 roof rack, think before you speak.



This is why we stay in school.

I have a snowboard rack for my FC. Originally came with my Honda but fits the seven perfect, and yeah, looks badass with boards on it :-) no pics tho

theres a thread on zilvia about these, people piecing them together from craigslist and than ordering the mount pieces etc.... They hurt gas millage pretty bad, something id consider since our rx7s aint exactly the best cars on gas, but i suppose thats mostly due to the spoiler piece on there.

yup exactly what im doing on craigslist!!!

i found a rack with the ski/snowboard rack already with it and i just bought some Q clips already..

im glad im not the only one who like racks ahha

HEY TYLER!!!! POST SOME PICTURES if you still got the rack and can put it on just for reference on a white FC lol =]

not to mention only bad gas millage but also an annoying whistling sound if you dont have a fairing or the correct size

I dig them. I would definitely put one on my FC. I wouldn't pay much for it though, too much other stuff I want for my car. Plus my snowboard fits in the hatch just fine, and its a 158! Can't wait to downsize.

i need and want one this year so when i go up to MT high i can bring my 7... going there is a small little road that has some twist and turns and a nice little straight away up hill....

i know i just need some Q tower clips #17 to fit on our FCs

yo i completely support you, on putting on the roof rack on the 7.
Cause i been looking everywhere for anyone who might have that and not too many.

So when ever you get your rack post pics so we can see how it came out. im sure it looks NICE>

Go for it bro. there times you wanna take your 7 to the mountains you know. Dont mean anything cause its a race car. Even better right!!

Go 7 w/ roof racks
