does anyone have a picture of a lude with a rack on it? and or where to get one?

I'll check my app guide tomorrow at work, but I believe you can get one from thule. You'll have to get rack adaptors and some other things too, but they are pretty nice.

Very nice. Much easier than driving with a surfboard coming out of the sunroof.

Per Thule's app, you need part numbers

400 xt - foot pack
109 - fit kit
2 of a LB50 - load bar
871 if you want the fairing
554xt - the surfboard carrier itself, though Thule seems to think that our preludes are incapable of sustaining the weight of a surfboard. As you can see from 95greenlude's pics of mounted bikes, this is likely not the case.

Let me know if you need them sourced. Good luck, bud.

^if you get a rack from Yakima, they come with "strech Bars" (the bars that are connecting the front and rear crossbar. it moves the rear bar back about 7in to allow for higher weight load and more stability

I don't have any pix, but I agree with 95greenlude on the Yakima rack with the extension for short rooflines. I have attachments for my mountain bike and skis. The bases/locks are excellent and don't screw up your paint at all.

I used to have a Thule dedicated ski rack, but it left marks on my roof and at the top of the door that I was able to buff out- luckily. That's a big part of why I went with the Yakima this time around.
