I don't think the roof of my FC could hold a band. the drum set alone is pretty heavy.

well here are some pics of the roof band thats nobody
has heard about. note the pics on the left has only louvers on it and the pic beside it has the louvers,
roofband and spoiler. notice how nicely the roofband
and the spoiler connect.


and a front view of the roofband and spoiler.



so what do you guys think, would you sport one on your car, I think the spoiler looks pretty sweet as well.

I have seen pictures of what you are talking about. In the Mazda Dealership around here they have pictures and advertising for the roof rack of an FC, I will see if they will let me scan the pictures or get copies or something.

I think my car had louvers on it, years and years ago. Those things pretty much dissappeared as soon as the 80's ended.

He's not talking about the louvers, i edited the pic so you can see it maybe a little better. I have never seen one on a FC and I haven't decided whether I like it or not.
