    I agree the bolts that hold the roof racks on look long and thin. They are a 10mm thread.
    Which is what, close to 1/4"?

    Good work ! looks sharp. What is the "curtain rail" you mentioned?

    I really like the new rails gaining all that extra clearance thats sweet. The lower you keep it I think the better your MPG will be as well.

    I dont know yet if it'll kill my mpg by a lot or a little, havn't driven it much today. But, I will tell you that its quiet as far as wind noise. Took it out on the highway up to 80mph and didn't really notice any extra wind noise.

    The driving lights will be like sea anchors on the road. I think the roof rack will have little effect, by it self on gas mileage. It's all the stuff you put in it that will
    make a dfference. The wind deflector should help.

    It's close to 1/4 but not quite......The curtain rail is just that, you install it on the ceiling and hang a curtain from it. the curtain is able to slide open and closed for privacy. Have you ever been in a hospital room where they have a curtain you can pull to separate the patients? Well, that's exactly what it is.
