    So is it Stainless Steel? Did the lights come with it? Are you going to put the rubber channel trim piece back in?

    The hardware is stainless steel, lights do not come with it, rubber channel is going to be put back on the front spoiler when I am done with everything.

    So... I left a bad review on Amazon. The review is not up there anymore for some reason. I then today got a package with lights in it that bolt up to the roof rack...15530272026263761735265489389688.jpg15530272188935707351752536382045.jpg

    I do not have one. I am going to be painting the front air dam this weekend and putting extenders on the rear to go past the shark fin antenna. I will also take pictures of the room I have between the rack and roof. I personally think it would but like I said I dont have one so I will measure it out.

    You should just modify the fin. I believe there is a write up about it.

    Reinforced it and still problems... I am going to cut my losses and get rid of this thing. I highly suggest you do not buy. Worst purchase ever, wish it had worked out but it didnt...

    After I added the edge strip and adjusted it to touch the roof no more vibration.
    As for wind noise it minimal I even have a aero turbine exhaust so it not bad

    If you put trim between the body and an add-on like that the trim will wear through the paint and it'll work its way down to bare steel on the body. It might take a couple years but I've seen it happen multiple times. If you plan on selling the truck later on down the road or care about the body paint you should find a different solution.

    My fault man I thought you meant the front air dam. I would rather extend it out or leave off the back piece to not have to modify the shark fin. I looked into it last night and it looks easy enough. After everything is said and done I will look back at it and if it is too high up I will modify it to be able to carry the surfboards.

    That is a good point, definitely something to keep an eye on and change out as needed.
