These are the "feet" of the racks. They are more or less clamps with rubber insulation that hook onto the top of the car and the door jamb. Very secure setup. If you wish to port the rack over to a new car, all you have to do is get new feet for the racks.

I'm guessing you don't bike...(dunno) Oh, and a reality check, I'm driving a STATION WAGON, a utilitarian vehicle! It's not like I put a roof rack on a sports coupe.

I had been doing that prior to getting a roof rack... I hated it. Well, it was a pain in the ass to remove and then remount the front wheel, and this was only amplified when their were two bikes in the car. Also, I like to keep my car as clean as possible. I'm very active on the weekends and...

I drove with 2 bikes on the rack at 80mph... I didn't notice anything different at all. No extra wind noise or howling whatsoever. The fairing must definitely be a major factor in this.

Just got a Thule roof rack installed on my MS3 for my bikes. This is the only pic at the moment. If you're interested I can provide you the part numbers. Enjoy.

Go to Tasca Mazda in Cranston, RI. They will sell you one below sticker.

Never really used the sunroofs in my other cars, so no, I don't miss it at all. Plus I don't like the hot sun beating down on my head!

I just bought that car last month... when it was called a Mazdaspeed3... you know what they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery!

Do it! You won't regret it... maybe except for the ass-numbing suspension. Pot holes and speed bumps suck majorly in this ride!

Share the same chassis? Yes. In cohoots? Dunno. But the Volvo C30 is suhweetness!

SRT-8s are just niceness. Damn that silver color is sweet on that Dodge!

I don't really care where it's from as long as it's trouble-free and does its job.

They are sitting outside dealer lots. You can get them for about $4500-$6000 cash back after negotiating the price. Check out Mazda's website and search for Mazdaspeed6 incentives. Basically you can get one for the same price as a Speed3 or better, ymmv.

I just hooked up my TomTom this morning to the rental, and it worked perfectly!! 2006 Chevy Impala! The car is boring as hell but I don't mind it. It's got a bench-like seat in the front row, reminds me of those old school cars. The seats reminded me of a big soft couch... I was about to fall...
