i see that everyone that does the roof rack only does the bike rack setup. Im think about getting the basket style one for my 5.5 but i don't know how it looks anyone try if so a pic would be nice.

Thinking about this basket and possibly the dome lights on the front

I have one of those on my forester, and honestly knowing how it looks, keep it off of the Maxima...

 

Seeing with my bike setup on my roof my MPG goes from 18 MPG City to just under 16 MPG I keep the racks off till I go and ride. Looks like the basket would be worse. Are you planning on carrying stuff in side it all the time? If so maybe you need a Pathfinder instead of a Maxima for cargo.

 

well i love my max and i feel like it can do so much more as far as cargo is concern. And i don't really ride bike to much more boxes and stuff cause of my business and most people dnt even use the bike rack they just have it for show. Im planning on getting leathers and i don't want to run the chance rip a seat with box or some nonsense like that.

P.S. Hey customlowz you think you can take a pic with it on top of the Max if you don't mind of course

 

This is how it looks on my forester... adds a good 8 inches to the top of the vehicle...








I cant take pics of it on the Max right now, its packed up in the back of my attic. Its going to be a few more weeks until I get it out and put it back on my subaru.

 

Thanks I appreciate the jester...I think I'm going to get even if I take off the basket from time to time.

 

It dosent look bad either...

 

That thing is as cool as having a basket on your bike

 

Lol... its not for style more for actual use

 

I'd give up my 5.5 gen for a 03 Forester .
