Aluminum mirror housings & roof racks on Imola sedan?
Seriously thinking of switching my mirror housings for the aluminum ones and was wondering:
1) If anybody has hi-q pix of Imola sedans with these.
2) If anybody's selling or knows of an on/off-line store that's selling matching roof racks for a sedan. (Don't even know if those are made.)
3) If I'm out of my mind and roof racks on a sedan would be as adequate as ketchup on cheescake. (Sad part is I know this last question will get the most replies. Oh, well, I asked for it!)

You want Avant aluminum roof rails for a sedan?
Don't think that's possible without it being totally custom. Yakima, Thule or Saris racks would be a better choice for a sedan. I'm partial to Yakima:

Depending what attachements he wants, if he's going for the Aluminum, he may want Thule...
I loved my Yak rack on my A4, but have since sold it and bought a new Thule rack (and unfortunately never got a chance to use it all winter, so it just sits on my floor)
Thule:

Yakima:

Though, now that I look, it seems Yakima has a new rack that may have a metallic finish:

Of course, all of this is pointless if he doesn't want a ski/snowboard rack.

I live in South Florida. You tell me if I really want a ski/snowboard rack for its practicality.
Just like the look of the avant stock aluminum racks and was wondering if anybody makes it for the sedan as well. Apparently, those Yakima's are the closest match and still quite far.
Thanks for the advise.
