Roof Racks

Has anybody put a roof rack on there 08 yet? Either a Yakima or a Thule or even a Subaru? Ive searched other forums and ive mostly found pics of the Subaru racks. I would like to see the Yakima set up or the Thule. Gonna use it for mostly mountain bikes. So any help would be awesome thanx for the help!

Not sure about 08 but Subaru factory bike racks and ski racks are re-badged Yakima products.

I just installed a full thule rack sysytem with deflector and 2 bike racks( right now). The bars don't sit as high as the factory setup. I have a moonroof and since I installed the deflector on the rack, the buffering caused by the cheap deflector built into the moonroof has stopped

Wagon or sedan, Subies look good with a nice Trek, or Santa Cruz, or Specialized on top! But I have yet to get a roof rack for my Bullet.
