i've seen one on a max at my school and it doesn't look too bad. also, i've seen them go on ebay pretty cheap. not a pick or price, but i hope that helps.

anyone know how easy they are to take on and off? I'd like one too so I can take my bike with me when I go places... but... I want the capability to take it off easy so that it doesn't make the car look bad.

sux because i saw one on ebay last week seriously go way cheaper than that. it was used but it was under 20 when i saw it.

i have a pic saved on my computer of this max with one. i saved it cuz he had a white max with a green body kit and a hoodscoop. i can block that out if you want so you can see it with just the roo rack. give me some time...

*edited* get ready to



take from that what you will haha...i knew saving this pic would come in handy some day!

I have a Thule rack on the car, I personally think it looks fine on the car; make sure you get the fering for it will look booty. It is easy to put on and off thought if you wish. If you want, I am selling 2 thule full bike racks(the non wheel removal one); one is a little bent due to some retardation, but the other one is fine, interested?

Just shot these photos in the dark hope this helps:
