The racks/cargo container are speed limited when empty at 110 MPH. Driving across country with the container full at + highway speeds, I had no worries. The racks can be used for bikes, snow boards, etc. No issues with radio/nav reception to worry about. No issues with noise. They were slightly noiser than without, but not much.
I have 'the coffin' too, does it shade out the sensor on the top of your
windshield and cause the headlamps to come on? mine does that.....
kind of annoying, but then again, I have not actually taken the thing anywhere but home from the dealer, but I agree, the parts go together well

I drove from Cincinnati to Las Vegas (3 days) in all kinds of sunlight, clouds, and darkness. I had no problem with headlamps.
