One of the few options I did not get was the roof rack.

Lately I have been thinking about getting it.

What do you all use it for, or is it just there for looks?

I use mine for hauling stuff! :D Seriously, though, so far I've used it to haul a king sized bed from seattle to portland, a king sized mattress, and some 4x8 sheets of plywood. Next big road trip, I'll probably buy a roof box for luggage!

I do, however, recommend the Thule Tracker II system over the OEM Honda; it's cheaper, and so are it's accessories. Check out my install here. (http://www.hondaelement.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1138)

I really wanna get a fat, round, tubular rack like the Nissan XTerra has. Something that I can show off a little more, and maybe slap a Honda sticker on. The Honda rack is too flat and small. It looks like a mini van rack! LOL

I've gotta get one of those roof racks. Seriously, it adds SO much to the look! And, after hearing that you can acctually HAUL things on it, even better!!

and wouldn't buy one unless I really needed it to haul something that wouldn't fit inside. My .02. :)

Like the looks, hope they don't get in the way of my Yakimas.
