I have one

but I only use it when I need to and I really don't need to anymore since I got an Odyssey. It looks so so, I would say If your needing it yes do it they are really nice racks. Q-towers are pricey for just going for the look. But yes you can do it it does fit. Fits in the channel on your door, becareful with this if you do decide to do it. Peace

I've got a Thule but close enough. Call me strange but I think it looks better with the roof rack. Either that or I've gotten used to it and a Prelude without one looks funny. Be sure to get the wind deflector. 1) it's ugly without it. 2) it's a hell of alot quieter.

If you want I can try to scrounge up some pictures. My car's in the shop right now (likes it's been for the past month and will be for a couple more weeks, sigh) so I can't snap a current picture.

Doesn't a Thule rack interfere with the sunroof?

if this is purely for looks this is quite possibly the dumbest thing i have ever heard, why in the world would you want a bike rack on top of your car if you dont have a bike? It serves no functional purpose and it adds weight. I would call this ricey, but not even a ricer would be dumb enough to try this...

p.s. if you have a bike, than im sorry for ragging on you.

What about our sunroof... that's a luxury item that no bike rack should restrict...

sorry, but i don't agree on putting that rack on for the pure "looks" of things especially for shows, it won't give you any extra points whatsoever.

Nope. The roof opens and closes normally. Doesn't drag or anything. Currently I have two fork mount bike trays and two front wheel carriers. I heard Thule changed their design some and now they have this funny tension bar that interfers with my friend's sunroof on his integra. I've had my rack for about 8 years now (2 different cars).

BTW you can't really have any wing larger than the stock. With my trunk up, the stock wing only sits about 3-4 inches away from the back end of my bike tray.
