The prices are not too bad - considered that the products are fantastic - total $439.00. I got them installed by a professional free of charge. Pictures below


This is the close up of the Rhino Racks ($239.00) and the Thule ProRide 591 ($200)



Going sporty style!

Thanks for posting up fella. They look the business. Like the Silver too.

I see Ford want over $500 for their bars, so you got away pretty cheap in comparison.

Yup, was pretty much aware on how much Ford charges these carry racks, too expensive and have no idea why they would do that.

I did much researching, at first - I was considering to find a good strap on bike rack for the rear door, but due to my dismay, my car has a rather large spoiler, and it wouldn't be worth the risk to find it was waste of time that the item wouldn't fit. So I reconsidered the roof racks, and they are the best option for my bike AND my snowboard in 2011 - will purchase the snowboard holders later on. Again, the roof racks comes handy, so thats how I decided to find the best product at a reasonable price.
