Default RACK!

So I'm wondering does anybody know of any company that makes roof racks for the 06 Stang?? I need a way to transport my bike and some luggage because I sold my Impala SS which had all that great stuff on it!.... or i'm thinking scrape all that and buy a Bronco??

buy a bronco for stuff like that... or better yet, buy some of those folding bikes so you can fit it inside your trunk!

I used to haveSnow Ski racks which were magnetic. The 'feet' were about 10" square with a feltlike material on them to protect the paint. They grabbed like crazy on the roof. Perhaps if you ask the question at a specialist bike shop they might have something similar?

Checked the Thule web site (have a Thule rack for the family car, love it!), they currently do not make a roof rack for 2005+ Mustangs.

You might try http://www.yakima.com, they are the other major manufacturer of roof racks, or like another poster said, try your local bike shop.

Looks like its going to cost as much as a SUV after its all said and done. []

Get an X-Terra, they have built in roof racks.
