roof rack

[codycancatch8]

I have been looking to buy a roof rack for sometime now. Yes I will use it. lol

I have found some area listings on CL. Can you tell me if these are all I need minus the q clips for my 2002 Accord Sedan.

Thanks. Let me know if these will fit and what all I need on top of this to make it work. maybe a cost est would be great....

get the yakima. hes got all four q towers and the two 48" cross bars you would need, with bike trays. all you need now is two 92 q clips and two 93 q clips, a fairing, throw some bitc*es on top of it and your good to role.

whats a fair price on that one? i talked to him earlier. he is also a college student needs the money. i explained to him that i had to buy clips and a fairing. can you give me a fair price? good price? and a steal of a price? haha

is it gently used? beat to hell? the pictures look okay, end caps are in good cond. ... the bike trays look alright and the round clips are in decent shape. your gonna spend about 30-40 bucks on the clips if you get em online from rack attack or yakima.com, so a steal price for what he is selling you, would be 150, a fair price for him would be 230 - 250 id say. new, that set up is about 5- 600 bucks depending on where you get it. i got all mine from yakima.com but you do the math. its up to you. but i got all my stuff a lone time ago, so prices may or may not have gone up.

Sorry to thread jack, but quick question. any rack on a car would fit the accord?
also looking into racks but don't know squat about q towers q clips or q tips.

thule, yakima, rola... etc, they all have different rack-to-roof methods of attachment but they are all about the same concept. tower rests on your roof and a clip fits within the housing of the tower and grabs your door frame on both doors on either side and they tighten to snugly fit your roof. but with yakima the only clips that will fit our cars are the 92, and 93 (sedans). i think its just the 92's you would need for the coupes. they have an extender that attaches to the front crossbar and rests on your roof. they are a very simple concept. but to answer your question directly, no. not any rack would fit. many rack companies that are out there make racks to fit, but you have to have the right attachment clips or arms or whatever they use. and all the websites walk you through it. check out yakima. www.yakima.com and walk through the "fit my car" process and check out the accessories too. but be careful, we are modifiers, once you get a rack, there are a thousand ways to do cool sh*t to it

Thanks for the response. Ill offer him the steal price and then invest in the q93 clips. Come in pairs? Meaning i need 2 sets? And a fairing, what size would fit the best?

clips in pairs yes. and fairing is the 32 or 36" one or whatever. they dont sell the old school fairings like mine anymore, just the small ones.

so clips im looking at about 60 for 4. the fairing online i saw is a 44" inch, they also have a 38". I wasnt sure what would look better on a 02 accord sedan. I have read that people are going with the 44". they run around 70.. so all said and done im looking at 280 for everything, saying he takes 150.
