<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28970/carrier5.jpg"></center><p>I have a couple close-ups in my Picture Poster for anyone interested. I went with the Thule bars for the speedy installation and removal [less than five minutes]. I chose the Yakima bike carrier for the low-profile mounting design and the quality of the vise-grip skewer thingy. There is the expected wind noise, but nothing the radio doesn't drown-out. It is a fantastic set-up [one bike only, for now] for just over $300. [Excuse this image, as there a a few reflections from the window!] If I decide to get a fairing [Thule], I will post updated shots.

I use the same Thule bars and Yak Viper bike rack combo...best of class of each. I pushed everything as far back as possible (rear wheel of longest bike near back window with hatch in way-up position) to reduce wind noise. I'm going to look into the new Thule fairing, but think it will be a trick to mount it behind the sunroof. Will post when I check it out.
