i use bike racks for their purpose and always have. but they look dope too. so its more of a win/win for me when i look at them. dope because the guy might might his bikes on his dope car. and if he doesnt, then its still dope because it looks cool.

but i'm biased...because i tend to like everything posted in here.

Now now.....play nice.

I respect jrod's opinion, as I do anyone's opinion. I personally think roof racks ruin the flow of a car, but I 100% understand a person having one if he/she actually uses it for what it was designed for. But thats just me.

 

opinions r for fgts

 

i mean roof racks don't belong on everything. but since people have been using them on certain cars (ie. hondas, vw's) for looks, its a norm now to consider it a visual mod. yes, people have been using them for years for intended use, and still do, but roof racks have merged into the car's aesthetic department too. thats why i can handle looking at them on modded cars. it should be normal by now to understand that people use them for many reasons. thats how every trend starts. a group conforms to a certain look. functionality isnt always a driving force...and visual appeal tends to be.

 

I'm not gonna lie.....I would never personally own a 1st gen xB, largely because I don't feel safe making lane changes in one (my '98 S10 w/ 179k is faster), and they are extremely played out.....but I think they look really good when done right. That being said, the 2nd gen xB's have really grown on me.....but there aren't too many "dope" ones, asides from that blue on on air w/ the Works and The Neek's black one.

 

Roof racks/luggage racks (like the one on the light green xB in my post on the previous page) and bike racks are two different things. Roof rack/luggage racks make sense to me. As seen below, the dude stuffed a giant stereo setup in his cargo area, so he may actually need the roof rack.....and granted, he probably added it for visual flair too. But the bike racks that will never have a bike attached to them just seem silly. But, like I said, thats just my opinion. And i'm sticking to it.

 

this was decided a while ago.

 

 

I like the front end on the green one
