    Wow, that's an awesome rack! And it looks so good on a silver VX!
    Looks like you got the equivalent to the 696. Can you get the Audi logo/sticker off some how?

    Did it mount with the included hardware, or did you need to find another type of hardware to mount?

    I sent the e-bay seller a note about shipping one to the States. Fingers-crossed...

    Yep, goes straight on with the included tbars

    Off the car it looks huge and in the box it came in too! I thought it was going to be far to big but I think it looks ok, yes?

    Dunno what international shipping will be though

    isnt there a cover or something to fill the space where the racks mount ? its looks kinda odd , like breaks up the lines of the roof rail itself.... darn i always thought yakima racks filled the space when you took the covers off

    There's nothing out-of-the-box to cover the mounts, but you can mod the original rail caps to fit around the towers. Just takes patience (and a Dremel). Finding caps to mod is much harder.

    The 4 rail covers need to be removed to put the 4 towers on for the OEM "Wing Rider" crossmembers, but a few members (I can't recall which ones), customized their rail covers. They cut out the area for the towers, then reattached them. It made a REAL NICE "finished" look to the roof rails.
    I think that's what you may be thinking of.
