wrx roof racks?

I was wondering who makes roof/snowboarding racks for the wrx? I know yakima has one, but I am looking for something cleaner and stick with the roof lining.

Yakima is the cleaner option.

Define "clean". Racks are supposed to be functional.

this is actually for my buddy. he has the yakima already. I think he wants to get the JDM roof rack. Is there any local vendors that sell it? I know Japanparts has it, but he wants to pick it up locally.

isnt that more of a permanent setup? at least thats what i thought i read about that diy..... i think it said something about it being a hassle taking it on and off. i really wanted to do it but if it is harder to remove i dont want to bother. looks clean btw.

not its not. i removed it from my car and installed it onto khizzles car and back wards and it took less then 20 minutes to remove it from my car and reinstall it on khizzle's car. if you know what your doing its easy. looks and seems complicated but its not.

also with this mod, you get more clearance for your bindings when you go snowboard so you dont have to worry about it rubbing on your roof.
