2013 G550 roof rack ideas
I currently use my Panamera 4S for everyday drive and for winter ski trips but just added G550 for this coming winter. What kind of solution do you guy have currently or any suggestions for roof rack? I got some ideas from SEMA show but many of the cars had cargo baskets on the roof. I plan to place my Thule boxter cargo case to transport skis.

I seen one that really looks great on a G63 here in NY but it was going in the other direction on a freeway so I couldn't even take pic. It made the G63 look even better and it had that rear ladder integrated into the rack. Wish I could be more helpful but trust me I looked all over the net to see if I could maybe find it but none look as good as that one did.

That looks clean, does it have the ladder in the back?

Yep, it was actually built to house a 40" Rigid E series LED light bar in the front and two 6" Rigid SR series lights in the back. That will be one of the next things that gets installed.

Sorry for the late reply, this site doesn't always send notifications to me when someone replies to a subscribed thread.

It's made by Gobi USA. I got the rack directly from Gobi in Colorado. If you're looking to purchase one you can get it from DirtyParts. The rack basically just clamps on the the rain gutters.

Thanks..
