i have yet to hear of anyone or have even seen a pic of an rx8 with a roof rack. you would have better luck trying to buy new.

not really. you can get a used yakima rack and just buy some Q towers that fit the RX8.

doesnt look too bad.

Wait What? not everyone lives in Florida gtfo really?(nah I kid i kid)
But for real though knowing the 8 lacks on space y not get a beater to carry stuff. I'd be afraid to scratch the roof up is all.
