Good Option For Roof Rack Pads Here!

Just got in a nice set of roof rack pads from www.surfboardsetc.com - they're Dakine Long Aero Roof Pads - Black; #1-8840-302-29. $41.44 to my doorstep! They fit alittle snug; you gotta tug pretty hard on 'em to get good velcro contact, but they DO fit. 28" long, so they leave 1-2" on each side of the rack, but the shape looks like an extension of the rack itself. Also, I think that the "Dakine" lettering which is on both sides of each pad could be removed with a judicious application of Brake Kleen or the like, leaving them jet black and even MORE "stock-appearing". Just thought I'd give you all the "heads-up"...:)

Thanks for the heads up Ganz, was thinking about doing this myself this summer, but was wondering if the air moving over the nylon would whistle at speed. Experience?

Dunno...I'm half deaf anyway, so what's alittle whistling to go along w/my tinnitus?:bgwg:

Got pics?
