Default Thule or Yakima rack on your S4 sedan?

I would like to see some pictures and hear comments from people with a roof rack. I think I have given up on the idea of a hitch being mounted because I don't really like the idea of drilling into the frame.

Also those of you who have a rack did you put the 3m clearbra under the rack posts? If so where did you purchase the clear bra?

Default I had a Yakima rack on my Accord Cpe...

Id say that both have similar quality, but I got the Yak rack based on looks and the surfboard attachment... The Yak rack had soft rubber feet, so there was minimal damage to the paint if any, but i only put the rack on when i needed it.

Oh yeah... It was great!

Are they pretty easy to snap on and off?

Default Yeah... a lock per foot and a lever per foot and lift.

Removal usually took roughly 3 minutes including unloading the road bike or surf board.

Default Awesome

I was always under the impression it was some difficult process to attach and remove a bike rack from the roof of a car. (I've never owned one before)
