DGR8 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I am thinking about roof rack for IS250. Can anybody recommend the brand or share photos if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayjase Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Whatever you do don't buy Rola racks, I did and they are extremely noisy, I have been recommended pro rack which have a crossbar they call whispabar, which is supposed to be much quieter, there is also a demonstration and pic of is250 on their website. I am considering changing to the prorack bar myself for some peace and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRV Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi, I bought the Rola ones initially. Yes they were noisy. I now have the Lexus ones purchased from Waitara Toyota (I think). Still noisy though when sunroof open! But fit so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayjase Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just had the prorack fitted at altapac in Newcastle , so much quieter and much better fit than rola, very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dis-lex-sic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 They will all give noise to some degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have original Lexus roof racks and bike carriers on my ISF, these I belive are badged THULE. I have found them to be very good. As the IS model does not have inbuilt roof system they are a little fiddly to fit but that is not the racks fault. You can see it here carrying the toys. http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10429&st=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avante Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 How much did you guys pay for roof racks? Are they easy to install? Is this a reasonable price? http://www.orsracksd...-roof-rack.html Really only getting this for the odd item from Ikea (large, but light items <30kgs) and it will only be on the car when I need it (assuming its easy to install and remove as needed) so noise doesn't concern me. Any other cheaper alternatives that won't damage the roof of my car would be good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRV Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi Avante, I paid from memory about $300 odd (maybe more) for some Lexus Racks. If you are after a cheaper option I have a set of Rola Roof Racks that I am selling as I only have one IS250 now. You can PM me and I can discuss them with you.
