I looking a putting a roof rack on my IS200 but I'm worried it will ruin the look of my baby. I've been surfing the various Lexus sites but cannot find a picture of an IS200 with a roof rack fitted.

Does anyone have a rack on their car or seen a pic of what they look like?

Cheers Manic :)

Hi Manic 35:

I have seen an IS200 with roof rack, but I didnt have a chance to get a close look to find out what brand.

what are u going to carry with ur roof racks?

if only carry something light, u can consider "suction roof carrier" they are removal appliances which u only put on when needed, (a set of 4 suction ports)

Does it make a sense to u?

SSML,

The roof rack is just for a surf board which in itself won't be very heavy but at 100 K/h might get a fair degree for force on it. I will check out the suction roof carrier though, might save me a few dollars on a genuine Lexus rack (if there is such a thing).

Hi Matt:

I used to use those suction roof ports for surfboards (2) on my parents' ES300.

u can just position 4 suction ports (about 15cm in diameter) on the appropriate positions, and the use the straps included to tight down.

Although it's not as convience as the traditional fixed roof racks(b/c u need to remove that when u r surfing so other people wont steal them), but it doesnt cause any possible damages to the paint. and can use on any type of cars.

SSML,

That's good news and sounds EXACTLY what I'm after! :)

Thanks for all the tips, I'll have a look for that shop.

Cheers Manic :)
