How do I get the roof rack off? I just want to see what it looks like in person without it. Although it does make it look sweet . My wrx buddy wants one on his wagon.

Gosh I don't remember. That was 2 years ago. I know that my car came with the pieces to cover things up once it was removed. It was just a matter of undoing bolts. Here's a pic of mine from today. You can kinda see what it looks like without the rack. My other pic in my signature is when I bought it with the rack on it.

Your car's a little dirty there.

I still like the way it looks with the roof rack. Nice Miata down the way.

The cross bars can be takin off from the out side. Just a few screws on each end of them. To get the rails off you need to take the headliner out of the inside of your car and you will see three or four bolt in your roof going up to the roof rails. Remove those. Then make sure to plug up the holes with some kind of apoxy so no water leaks into your car. The headliner is pretty easy to take out. Just peal back the tops of the pillars, remove sunvisors, remove dome light, and remove handles. Then you can pull the headliner out from the rear hatch. Let me know if that makes sense to you and if you have any other questions.

Notice you can see a reflection on the top center section. Three coats of clearcoat FTW!

It would be much cheaper to tint your tails your self. The tint spray only cost $12. You can buy it on ebay or at your local tuner store. It is called Nightshades tint spray. As for powdercoating your wheel, GOOD CALL! The stock wheels look great in a gloss black and the powdercoating will last a long time apposed to painting them insead. Make sure to post some pictures when your done

Quick shot on the weekend from the blackberry. New grill sprayed the same colour I did the valance and headlights with.

I'll have another one soon of the rear, gonna tint out the signal and reverse light portion of the jdm tails. Just waiting for the tint film to arrive.
