Did a Roof Basket for the wintertime, because i don't want my bike racks to get all crudded up. Can't ride in this mess anyway.



This is the Highland UVenture, found on amazon for 75 bucks. Its reasonably constructed and is low profile enough to not look dorky up there.



Thinking of mounting a shovel, spare snow wheel, traction pads and a lightbar up there. I have all these things already so figure i just pop them on.


bye.

Not to change the subject , but I could never get past those luggage racks on the back of corvettes in the 70's , lack of space I get it , but really? It's a vette ,, it does make the ST look rally inspired . Minus the all wheel drive

Should have bought a truck if you want to haul all that shit.You have an ST not the Griswold family station Wagon.
Correction; you have an Fiesta ST you do what you want.
Haters gonna hate; roof basket looks great. Rhymes make it more true.

If I could attach my skis to it somehow and get my gear up there I could take the whole gang to the mountain. Good looks man!

Is this basket universal or does it only fit certain brands? Any whistling?

The basket is universal.

Without the fairing, it sounds like a dying yak, so use the included fairing. Prevent yak noise.

I thought you meant real rally cars, not ones people use to race segments and carry their parts on/in. Cool as hell none-the-less but I meant WRC, literally lol.

If I mention "baseball players use it", the majority of us think MLB not triple A minor league.

Not disrespecting what those guys are doing, its bad ass. But you cant call a car with a roof rack packed with parts a race car unless we are maybe at the Dakar lol.

Should have bought a civic... that basket would be perfect for it
I was thinking more Audi or Subaru, because this is New York, and you see it on those cars more than the civic here.

Although the snow worthiness of the Fiesta ST is impressive with the winter tires.

Edit: so i shouldn't make the fenders all rusty?? (I can't do the hood... Aluminum!)

Probably closer to "baseball players use it", then showing a picture of a camel in a hat.

I certainly didn't call it a rally car, I just needed something to take the place of my six hundred bucks worth of bike racks in winter.


I guess the basket's pretty polarizing huh!

Its your car man! As long as you dont stupid camber it and ruin the body by rusting it, I have no opposition.

Most mods are reversible so not a big deal. I just hate when someone permanently ruins a can for stupid reasons lol.

Rack looks sweet, thank goodness not everyone's ST looks the same! Now for some low profile LEDs on the top and a night time rally stage shot w a little air under the tires!
I threatened the fam that I was going to haul us in the fist on a 10 hr trip.... They yelled in protest! Lol
