Those are pretty cool, although I'd rather have mine painted to match.BTW, I love the two cent discount off the MSRP!

Maybe if we can get a group buy they will take off another penny!

Do we have any closeup pics of the fitment of these caps? I know some of the other caps (Psycho-caps) didn't fit too well.

Here is a pic that rlfreese showed me. The fit looks a little off to me, but could just be the pic.

by Toasted7
wow, those go all the way to the front! I know the psycho-caps didn't go that far, but the fitment looks better on these at least. You have any pics of the caps from the side of the car? I just wonder if they sit flush with the roof of the car?

I have these also, and the fitment is pretty flush with the roof, the main problem is in rlfreese's pic is were the two pieces join and go out to the side of the car. I put some silicon gel on mine to cover up the holes, but I did a ****** job. But make sure you cover your holes from the racks or your car will leak.

You probly could use just the back peices, but I think it would look bad. The 2 peices overlap each other and you'd have to do something with the tab and flat edge right up against the stock filler thingy.

The fitment IS less than perfect, but compared to the stock roof rails, these are a God-send. there you go

Thanks for the pics on a white Vibe. They do look really good. I didn't realize the gap in the back was so large. Is that emphasized by the picture, or is it noticeable in person?Looks great....I think I need to get a set of these.

They DO look exceptional on white vibes . From the rear, they look like they fit perfect. The picture just makes it look larger than it really is, and water DOES NOT get into the car, as long as you PLUG THE HOLES, with what you say? It doesnt really matter just as long as you seal them completely.

i like'em alot. how hard was it to remove the racks? have you had any issues with the tape/adhesive?
Re: (meathead333)

Super easy install, just make sure to take your time, that double sided tape is REAL sticky and you dont want to crack the clear on the carbon fiber by yanking on it. Has not budged since being installed (about 5-6 months)

Myself, Xssiv1, Meathead and Dans would be 4 people. Xssiv, maybe you could call him up and see if he'll go for just four. It's not like he's cutting that much off.Does anyone know another source for these?

ok just talked with Mike and each person needs to call him at 888-766-0022 x105. I have already ordered mine and wait to see what the quality is like. My total was 159.99 + 10.87 shipping for a total of 170.86. Basically you get shipping for free. The cost on the web site is 176.88. I will try to convince him to leave the deal open for awhile so if any new members want to get in on it may.Thanks

Just ordered mine. Total was 170.32. Funny thing was, he said that RK Sport told him that the rails were for the 05 and up only. The RK rep seemed to think that the older Vibes were more like the Matrix. Can't wait to get these on.

i called a few hours ago and was told they only fit 2005s and up. i have a 2003. are they wrong?

Yes...They're wrong. Just look at kerry's car.Anyway, nothing on the body changed except the frontend.
