Just got me a Inno 625 too. Fit great and doesn't look like a ICBM install on the roof. Thanks, Pro Stock John...your pictures really helped in my purchase.

Took a couple of quick pictures between the periods of ICE/Rain this last weekend.







I will say I like to thank Jason Stevens from Motherlode Roof Racks. They advertised a great price, free shipping and they gave me an additional 10% off. On top of that, Jason was very knowledgeable on his products and shipping time frames. He also went the extra mile to ensure I got the roof box before my upcoming move. While keeping my updated the entire time.
Thanks Jason, job well done!

Glad they helped. I really like the quality and fit of this box. Yours looks great! Are those stock wheels?

Sir,

Yes they are Stock 19s on with Gray Anthracite Plasti-Dip. I painted the Calibers blue to match the color of her car. Plan on Plasti-Dipping the rest of the chrome as well...just this unexpected move has delayed everything.

Here are a few more pictures of the wheels...

Nice, I really want to powdercoat some stock wheels.

Any of you guys also running a fairing when you have the box on?

My wife's Q5 has the same wheels. I purchased a set of 20" SQ5 replicas yesterday from OEWheelsllc.com for $508 shipped. There are more tires to choose from in the 20" size and if Audi offers a buyback we may sell mine back and put her stock wheels on it.

Did you use the G2 paint kit for the calipers? The calipers on both of our Q5's look like crap.

I used my Audi Goodwill card to pay for most of the Audi Cargo Carrier. It looks great, opens from either side and fits perfectly. Expensive, yes, but Audi kicked in $500...

I have a Yakima Carbonite 16 (16 cubic feet). Fits my skis (176cm) and I can enter in my garage with the box on (7 ft door I think).

That looks pretty neat but not sure how useful when you have the box installed?

You got a part number.....might look it up and see if it is worth it.
