E63s AMG wagon
Widestar G63

She’s about 60% there. Wrap complete, downpipes and tunes on, and most of the Brabus widestar body kit is installed. Rear bumper, small bits up front, ladder and front roof spoiler left. Getting some custom Jerry can holders fabricated, lift and new wheels next. Debating if I need to get an exhaust too. Question I have is what snowboard carrier options do I have to fit the current roof rack? Seems like I need to install some crossbars that clamp to the side tubing before using the traditional snowboard carriers. A rack on top of a rack just seems redundant. Thoughts?

How did no one respond to this? Looks awesome! I'm shopping roof racks now for my G63. Do you have final photos after your lift and tires? Any feedback on what you've installed?

Hi,
Unfortunately the rack you have on your G, they don't offer much accessories to be able to add items on your rack.

However you'll just need to get creative and try to get some D rings, nut/bolts, and try to make that work the best as possible.

I know this wasn't much help, but that is what we've had to do =)

If you want something with a lot of options, we suggest Front Runner.
