Here is mine. Just got it installed this past weekend.

Thule Aeroblade powdercoated black. It's an option the store I bought it from offered.

I can take better pics tonight

Nice. I really wish Ford had put anchors in the drip rails...

Here's what I ended up going with. Sea Sucker Talon.



The rack performed flawlessly. Me on the trails, however, left much to be desired.

I ordered a Sea Sucker hornet. I have a downhill bike that's heavy and was concerned about the 4.5" vacuum cups(35lbs bike capacity) so called them and they're sending me one with 6" cups(45lb) and a third 4.5" cup to strap the seat to. I held my bikes up against it and it seems like the rear tire should sit about a foot off the ground so I'm hoping this setup works well. The odd occasion I need to transport two bikes I'll just throw one in the back or better yet use someone else's car :p

Should look something like this(sorry about the SUV lol):

I wanted to get the hornet but was concerned about how things would fit under the big lip spoiler back there.

It is a bit of a pain having to take the front wheel off and taking them on and off the car takes a few minutes. I don't ride more than once a week so it's not the end of the world.

Installed generic ebay roof racks, and those turned out to be complete crap. Sourced out some Yakima parts and got Q towers and Q99 front clips and Q116 back clips with Yakima round bars and they worked great. Even got a Yakima Rocketbox for a good price as well. Will post a pic soon
