HiI am buying a thule roof box. Which one look better?The boxter, Spirit or the Atlantis. Will hold about 16cuVibe is Liquid Platinum Metallic, Im edging toward the boxter.Even though you cannot open hatch all the way due to the placement of the factory installed roof rack. I still think they( GM) was not thinking about the placement and opening the hatch with a roof box.Also I plan on painting the breaks. Any suggestion for color?

At 85" in length, you might have A LOT of over hang with the Boxter. I'd go with the 686 Atlantis in black. Post pics when you get it.

I see a guy around here with a box that looks really good it doesn't look to affect the hatch either. If i see him around I will try to find out which one he has.

I'm going to suggest the Atlantis series. I have the Atlantis 1600 and it is great. Even with it on the car, I can still pull into my garage. The Atlantis is the shortest of the three, which obviously means it will be taller and wider than the others with the same cargo space (the Atlantis is also the lightest).I personally don't think any of these boxes look great. I didn't get it to be aesthetically pleasing, but primarily for function. I saw the Boxter on a vehicle for the first time yesterday. It was on an Infinity FX45 and it was just a disaster.

HiI got the boxster. I am able to open up my hatch 3/4 of the way. But as with all of the longer models,opening up the hatch is an issue.Don
