I have the hitch mount still but just got the Yakima rack installed like others on this thread. I still use the hitch for the bike but got the rack for my fishing kayak. I will post pics as soon as I get my paddles. 
I haven't seen too many GS's w/ kayaks on top yet. heh

damn.. you been doing some purchasing. heh Been travelling for work mostly.. actually was in Memphis yesterday. Vegas next week, and LA 2 weeks after that. Was rideless for a bit.. the discount tire said one of my rims had "rim cancer" (his words) Apparently factory Lexus OEM chrome wheels have a tendency to peel and deteriorate. Which causes the tire not to bead correctly. It got so bad I put a compressor in the trunk and ran it off the battery in the back for the stereo. I just ended up replacing the wheel. I had to fill it up in the morning, lunch, and before I left work. It was pretty annoying. heh

little o.t. but didn't think it deserved it's own thread ... in case anyones wondering... what a gs with a bike rack looks like with a kayak on top.. here ya go. 
outside of seeing the front of the kayak in my fov, I couldn't tell it was there. (got a hitch too.. worked out great for my recent camping trip.) Who needs a truck when you got a GS. hahaha It wasn't really wife approved... so I got her the IS250 in the background. No more complaints. AMAZING. lol

I need to purchase a roof rack and have been looking at thule and yakima. I would prefer to buy used and am leaning toward the yakima but I don't know what Q clips I need for the
Q tower setup. Does anyone know? Also, if I do buy new, where can I get the best deal. TIA.
