Swap Free EX35 Roof Rails for Roof Trim

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Does anybody have an EX 35 without roof rails. I would like to remove mine and cover the mounting holes with the factory trim pieces. I'm willing to give the roof rails away for free in exchange for trim pieces.

It was reported in the past that if your car doesn't come with roof rails you can't easily install them because you won't have the threaded bolt holes that the rail fasten to. I thought I would miss having rails when I got my car but it has been a year and I don't miss them. I also like the rail free look.

$600.00 gets you a new roof panel w/o holes.

You could probably find someone to make you a lacquered carbon fibre roof for that Price... Now that would look sick.

Hmmmm. I think I`m the only one here in Wi with EX35 with no roof rail. Bought the car on Sept. 08 and had seen 5 EX35 on the road, but all have railings. Even in Illinois when I go there once or twice a month- Nadda! When drive my car for service in the dealership, all ex35 have roof rails.

I remember when I put a down on the EX35, they had to haunt down for a rail-less EX35 and found it 70 miles away from us. Should I consider my car a collector`s item?
