I like the best of both worlds. I like my car to be fast but i also like to lug around my snowboards, surfboards and bikes. Obviously not at the same time. Lexus dealerships don't sell roof racks for IS cars, but Thule makes one that can fit on with out drilling into the car. Has anyone had any experience adding a rack on?

I use soft racks for my car when i go surfing. They wrap around the inside of the car with a strap. I put some soft towels around the pads (so it doesn't scratch) and it works really well.

It's cheaper here in Canada. I paid 230+ Canadian when I bought my car.
I like the low profile look of it. No drilling required. Takes 20mins to install/remove.

Have you leave the roof rack on at all times. Does it leave any kind of marks when removed? I would love to get this rack for my snowboard.

No, I take it off when I am done using. It creates drag and increased wind noise. No it doesn't leave any marks. It has a fairly big rubber pad. It is perfect for my snowboard.

This is great. Thanks. The soft rack suggestion was something i was hoping to avoid so this is perfect.

Hey.... nice rack! lol
