Default Anyone here have a green allroad in Bellingham Wa with painted low-profile roof box?

this is a long shot, but if your out there let me know... I just really want to know where you got that roof box!?

For others that might be reading this and have any ideas:

I've seen this sweet highland green ar around B'ham washington a few times.. It has a really low profile green roof-box that looks AWESOME! I want one! It is by far the best looking roof box I have seen (and I've looked a LOT). It's been painted green matches the ar paint perfect.


Plus this box is long and LOW, like 6" tall x 6 ft long... Might not be the most useful (largest) but it would be big enough for me...

Plus this roof box has indents in the bottom where the oem base carrier bars slide through, to keep the box really low. The first thing that crosses your mind when you see this box is 'low-profile'.

I just really want to know what brand of box it is, and where I can get one...

(I've seen this car several times, but never got to talk to the owner)

Default so the box is low?

I want one as well. Debating to get bars for the snowboards or a box.

Default hmm. I don't think so, although that one does look pretty low too..

I've seen this green one parked once and I stopped to look at it pretty close.

It's quite a bit lower than the thule and not so swoopy looking. It has a tapered front end, but the sides/back are much more square and the top is flat (besides the tapered nose), no humps in the middle like the thule. The bottom part is also silver, I guess it might be painted but at first glance it looks like brushed aluminum.. I'm sure its not cheap, but I would still like to find out where it is from...(it really looks mean and compliments the ar perfectly)

Just for refrence here is a link to the thule one...<ul><li><a href="http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?dept_id=11&amp;sku=689">Thule Spirit</a></li></ul>

Yakima also just introduced a low-profile box, about the same price as the Thule one.
