Check out the rola or rage roof racks. Theyre a cheap decent looking option.

Yakima makes good stuff. Thule also makes nice stuff. Inno might make something and is a cheaper alternative.

By all means, go for the Yakima.... I have A Yak rack on my lexus, and it's been great. No problems, and everything is in great shape even after 3 years of salty winters. If you can cough up the cash, go for it!

Also, ORSracksdirect.com usually has good deals on that stuff. You can probably google a coupon code for that website as well to get a little more off.
