I think you should widen your rack, It'll look ten times better from the front/rear. $0.02

[Matt]

widen what track?

widen what track?

Width of the rack........to fill in the roof a bit more. Know what i mean?

Noooooo. I specifically cut the rails so they'd only stick out 1" from each mount. I hate when people leave extra rack on and it sticks out 6" on each side. To me, it looks horrible and makes me wonder if those people were just lazy and didn't cut the rails to size like they're supposed to.

Hey man looking good I kinda like the contrast between the bolts and the black paint. Especially since you have the chrome roof rails.

lol i actually just painted them. I wanted the mounts and rails to be a uniform color... especially since most people don't know what tri-groove nuts are, it makes them look like special caps. I also plan on getting some rubber caps for the extra thread sticking up.

LMCAO!! No bro, I'm talking about the rack/cargo basket not the rails.

I like the screw heads black, nice touch.

Edit: I just realized I posted in this thread instead of your actual roof rack thread. LOL, you have like 4 or 5 threads on just your roof mod......LOL!
