Not a horrible price. Too bad they fit like garbage. Probably being discontinued due to the horrible fitment.

What is the purpose of these? You take the rack off and put that there for looks? For gas mileage?

More likely blowing them out due to lack of interest. The newest car these "fit" are 10 years old.

Either or. But trust me, the fitment is the worst. I couldn't imagine they really sold many over the years anyhow.
