I refuse to put a roof rack or snowboard on my IS. It just ruins the car. Trucks or SUVS are meant
that IMO

Yea but the purpose of rack is to transport snowboards or bike that doesnt fit inside the car
I can be careless how my car would look with racks if it does its job

You're right! It does the job! I know I can't have it, but that's just me. To each his own! At least, a low-profile one doesn't look as bad

I feel like I have seen another thread on here that had the IS with racks on it, I believe they were Yakima...

Robert Close at Rhino Rack was kind enough to send some pictures of their rack on a 2014 IS.
Does it seem a litlle long?
