    if you dont have factory crossbars you are going to have a tough time finding them.. and if you do manage to find one.. expect to pay 200-300+ for it

    you can get Yakima Lowrider mounts that will work, just wont look quite as good as the stock crossbars, here are photos of mine, the first photo is how it looks now after a little modification to the stock rail covers, the other two show when i first mounted them, doesnt look like they are snug but i can assure you they are, i have had 60+ lbs up there for 500+ miles with no problems, i can pull on the crossbars and move the vehicle and they dont even budge





    and if you use the yakima mounts with their round bars, pretty much anything will bolt up to those

    Those things are a royal pain in the butt to store when not in use. I much prefer the soft units. They can sit right on your roof without damage & the chinch straps keep anything from flapping even at highway speeds. The best part tho is that you can roll them up into a shoebox size bundle when not in use.

    How much do those cost? I actually like them, and they lock. Where's the cheapest place to find them, I need them by a week from today too, hopefully I can manage that task otherwise I'm SOL.

    I don't mind storing the unit when not in use, I have a 3 car garage that only my stealth is allowed in so there's plenty of room

    I've been thinking about getting a 3000gt for a while, but only a 92/93 vr4....I'm going to take a guess here that your daughters isn't a vr4 is it? Plus I think a 300zx TT is on my list before another 3kgt/stealth

    i dunno the best place to get them near you, i got my whole setup on e-bay for about 200 bucks, that included 4 mounts, all 4 locks with matching keys, 2 48" crossbars and the windjammer fairing but ive seen the set go for cheaper than that on ebay.. if you need it quickly go to www.yakima.com and find a retailer on their website near you

    i've been trying to get a set on ebay, but i need it before friday because i leave to FL friday morning. i've asked a few people if they can guarantee shipping by friday but nobody has responded so oh well. thanks for the idea of looking for a dealer near me, i've found about 30 of them near me so im going to go shopping all day tomorrow until i get everything i need. i would really rather OEM, but since the only isuzu dealer in my area says he cant get them anymore i guess im screwed unless i magically find someone on here that just happens to be selling theirs

    Hey, etlsport....

    What are the model/part numbers or the towers and bars you have? I'd do with these if I am not able to find the OEM racks.
