Where do you like to order parts?

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.

I am trying to order new cross rails for the roof rack and InfinitiPartsPeople.com had the cheapest price of $106...But the price was listed wrong and they canceled the order. Then they updated the price a few days later to $230, but apparently that's still the wrong price and they won't honor the order. So since they can't seem to get their crap together, I need another place to order from. Any suggestions?

I apologize for trying to derail the thread a bit, but is there any reason you're looking at the OEM crossbars vs. an aftermarket set?

I'm only asking because a few owners had complained about the short distance between the front and rear rails, giving them issues with mounting certain cargo boxes and accessories. In addition to that, the OEM crossbars are fixed, while an aftermarket set would likely be adjustable and provide a bit more flexibility. Again, I apologize, but I just wanted to throw it out there for you.

I know you said you're looking for new BUT, if you're not dead set against used parts.....

I agree with NJGuy. Better to buy aftermarket than OEM. A lot more flexibility and customization.

Also with aftermarket you can remove it from the car and install it on your next car.

Completely for looks. I have no plan to put anything on the roof...I just like the extra three inches of height it adds to the car.

I want to do new...I have the cross rails already but the paint is chipped on the edge where it attaches to the side rails and it is eye level with passengers when they get in my car. Having them repainted is almost as much as buying new ones...So i will go that route.
