First G35 coupe with roof racks!

I got these put on a while ago from a place in MA called RackAttack. The whole setup with snowboard carriers was about $850. So far it's held up really well and I've have got many compliments on them. If any of you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking!

Ya it was expensive but it makes the G so much more usable. Here is the price list.
The ski were carriers were $200 and the flush mount kit was $30
The cross bar rack without the mounts were $200x2 for front and back
The riveted mounts were $50
The installation and locks were $170

I can also take the G to the beach with a 9 and a half foot surfboard on top!

The cross bars themselves are not, they unbolt with wing nuts. However there are 4 mounting points that were riveted to the roof in each corner about 1.5in longX1in wideX.5in tall.


I searched this forum many, many times and haven't found anyone else with them so I just assumed I was the first. Sorry about that.

Why are y'all acting like roof racks are common on coupes? There isn't one made for them and besides the one picture on the black coupe I've certainly never seen one before. I researched fairly extensively as well before I just bought an xterra to haul my bikes lol. OP nice rack definitely the best one thats been put on a coupe

Lol he isn't getting attacked, he is getting playful flak for claiming he was the first coupe with a roof rack when these cars are 10 years old and the likelihood of being the first to do that is pretty much zero.

Heck, there is even one for sale in the marketplace right now...

Google is your friend. I search on G35 Coupe Roof Rack and found a handful of images. That took all of about 5 seconds.

I can only find 3 on google images all 3 of which have been shared in this thread. 3 out of thousands and thousands of G's. pretty unique if you ask me

Uncommon, yes. Especially one riveted to the roof that will substantially cut down on resell value.

That's a sedan thread that's a completely different thing lol they make one for the sedan but it won't fit the coupe

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment! I would've liked a truck to haul my downhill bike or surfboards but having two cars while in highschool just wouldn't work out.


For those who disagree I am the first with a permentetly mounted roof rack , well good for you for having your own opinions! Proud of you!! I don't really care if I am the first or not. I just went with what I thought and wanted to post this to see if anyone wanted help or to give people ideas. I guess trying to help people isn't it worth it. Sorry.
