Anyone have a snowboard rack on their 240?

[gounc14]

Yeps I live at Virginia Tech and try to get out to the slopes as much as humanly possible during the end of fall semester/beginning of spring semester, so I'm wondering, does anyone here have a roof rack, who made it, etc...thanks guys, just curious =)

go w/ yakima, i think... i got thule, <$$ but i had a good discount @ the time> but square tubes on the roof of a sexy shapely car doesn't really work... @ least yakima's are rounded...

i once saw a 2-tone 240sx with a hood rack on top around the neighberhood and it looked good (makes it look even sportier somewhat ). never saw him agian tho = \.

Haha I'm not too worried about looks, it'll only be on during snowboarding season, but I was kind of wondering, I looked at the Thule site, and they don't really say all the parts you need, could you tell me which you got for the full rack?

ya know, some other list member was having trouble finding the foot adaptor for his 240sx... i think they discontinued making it...

soo try yakima or saris or other brand, sowwy

edit: did a google "roof racks" fitment guide... w/ some new thule #s (*)

http://www.rackattack.com/ is one of goole's results

*400xt Aero Foot PackThe original 400 Aero foot is restyled with improved looks and function.

*92 Fit KitDesigned for use with the 400XT Foot Pack. Our Fit Kits mirror your roof’s profile. Set of four brackets and footpads. (ha, that's y i said it doesn't flow w/ the lines of the 240sx, they didn't have this when i bought it back in '98)

LB50 Load BarsBase for Thule Multipurpose Rack Systems. Set of two bars. (i saw some people w/ longer bars that go out like a foot of each side of their vehicle---if you're not careful, u can "clothesline" a pedestrian/bicyclist)

477 Short Roof AdaptorDesigned for use with the Aero Foot System. Provides extra stability to the rack system allowing it to hold more applications.

(some people i've seen skip this item to be cheapos, but to get the full use of your roof if you're gonna carry anything big/heavy, u need this; it'll look to awkward w/out it as well...)

u need pics, lemme know; i gotta borrow my bro's digicam

to add, it'll be expensive unless u got some people who can get u a discount <which is Y i said to look @ other brands as well>

oops, forgot to add the part # for just the snowboard kit on top of the roof rack

PS: just joined up w/ a new autoparts wholesaler <1 month old> but we don't deal w/ accessories/performance, just replacement parts... people in sj need replacement parts, I can get 'em to u for "@ my discount cost"
