Snowboard single large clamp in the winter, surf rack setup in the summer. Big bite mountain bike rack all year long. I also have the older Thule Visor. Looks a lot better than the new design IMO... The Thule fits great. I also recommend putting 3M clear protector under each foot of any rack you get to protect the paint. Good luck.

Also, because they of the shape of the OEM Thule Aero bars, there it low window noise that is caused by the bars (just the attachments). So you won't need any fairing to be installed.
Also, the OEM cross bars look best. But it depends if you have a sedan or an avant. With the avant, Planet_Acid's setup looks the nicest.
Also, try to buy them new if possible. The new kit includes the cross bars, clear guard material to install under the rubber base bars to protect your cars paint, and rubber stripping which gets inserted into the cross bars to cut down on wind noise.
