bought wrong thule rack, installed it anyway

[Mike's_Taffeta]

So I thought I found an awesome deal on a thule rack on craigslist with snowboard attatchments. When I picked it up I was in a rush since I had to be in manhatten beach within 2 hours and I live in victorville (96 mile trip) so I picked up gave it a quick look over and left. I knew it didn't come with brackets for my car so I would have to buy some.

Anyway, the next day I looked at the rack and compared it to the website and realized I bought the wrong sh!t. I figured I might as well try it. Since I spent the money. Made some custom brackets and installed it. Brackets took me about 45 mins to make.

Onto the pics:

Should I keep it and get a fairing for it, or sell it and buy the right one. Its on there good, drove 100mph and it didn't move.

Are you going to use it for anything, or did you just buy it for the 'look'?

Use it for snowboarding now, maybe bikes in the summer. Yea I thought it looked a little bent too. Ill rock it till I sell it I guess. Money wasted

I put foam under the brackets so they wouldn't rub on the paint. I know I know,its ghetto. It'll be off soon enough.

that was my first impression as well...but I say sell it for a little more and then buy the right one later.
