    In process of purchasing and 08 Prius package #6 (Dark Gray). Plan on installing a roof rack to carry various items such as kayaks, cargo box, etc. Any thoughts as to what is the best overall system. I want something that will look good on the car, have the least amount of wind resistance, be durable.

    Your recommendations, photos of examples, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks:)

    I have always bought Yakama systems. Good quality and solid. They have just about anything you need. Watch the opening page and it will scroll through all the various options. You won't be sorry. :)

    This comes up often. I might recommend a forum search. I think you will find Yakima Q-Tower system is the most popular.
