Love the car, however I personally don't like roof racks, but as '- Guilty -' said, you gotta do what you gotta do.

The car itself looks BADASS!

Nice single/fixie!! Looks good up there.

However, to complete the look, IMO, think you need the wind deflector. It makes it look much better, cleaner, and fills out the fact that there is a huge rack on top.

Thanks man, statebicycle has some dope bikes! I really wanted a deflector but the store I went to get the bike mounts said I cant fit one on the mb bars since they aren't square.. That didn't make sense! Do you know where I can get one?

How come you didn't get a deflector for front of the rack?

If they do not want to "install" it for you or they say there is a problem b/c the bars aren't square, just get one and zip-tie it cleanly. I cannot understand why you can't make it work?

Black zip-ties, tight, and the excess snipped cleanly. Just a thought.

Overspooled, are these OEM racks? If so can you take a shot of how it connects to the car please. I know it connects to the lug under the flip up plastic hatch, but does any part of the rubber base touch the car? I'm looking at some Thule racks and they connect but have a rubber base.
