Default What are sedan guys running for roof boxes?
I want to get a box that'll fit up to 205's, but am afraid of getting one that is too long for the sedan roof line. Anybody have some pics and make/model of the box they use it'd be appreciated.

I'm leaning towards the Yakima Skybox 16s right now

I've STFA and my eyes are getting tired, almost everything I find is an avant (man I wish I had one of those

TIA!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.rackattack.com/product-pages/yakima-skybox-16.asp">Yakima SkyBox 16</a></li></ul>

Use your skibag numbnutts. No reason for roof box unless you are a boarder.

skip the box, just get a rack. I'd stay with Yakima or Thule

I never liked the idea of putting boards/skis inside my car. snow, dirt, sharp edges, etc

Default I'm a racer, so on a standard weekend, I'll have 6 to 8 pairs of skiis in the car
Plus all the gear we need. (tuning bench, food, cooler) I would like to be able to use my back seat for people instead of gear.

Thought about that, but I spend too much time on edges and bases to leave them open to the elements
