Been lookn 4 a set of roof racks and found these in a buddy's attic from a chebby p/u truck. Cut 1 down and placed it on the roof to see what it looks like. Looks to me like it needs a sun roof hahaha

No to sunroofs.

They just eat a chunk of your headroom, introduce structural weakness, add weight to the car where you don't want it, and introduce one more place where leaks and rust can sprout. You can probably tell I'm not a fan.

Keep it as it is Mike.

What is this anybody know?? Accord maybe, I like rear 1/4's the way they poke out and the detail by the tail light where it angles back in.
runn'n pretty much like a civic hatch shape wise, it could use a rear roof spoiler tho.

Definitely not an Accord. Looks like a 1980s Corolla FX-16 from the rear, but I don't remember the FX having such a sharp nose...

It almost looks like a Subaru. I had a Turbo station wagon that looked like that.

Drop is not enough but takes pot holes like a Caddie. So I pulled out "Our Ace in the Hole" & called upon Hoyt's honda knowledge. So pulling the shocks back off and and tweak'n to the exact height which is 21" just about tucking the tires into fenders.

Besides the GTI is there anyone in the USA that offers a 2 door hatchback? Even coupes are becoming rare.
