Default Roof rack

Has anyone found a roof rack for 350z? I saw a few ads on Autotrader with mounts for Surfboard. I'm interested in a ski roof rack.

If anyone knows one that fits, please post a link.

um, no. would be totally useless anyway because you would never be able to drive a Z anywhere close to use those skis

Huh? Big Bear is an hour away from Orange County. There's enough space in 350Z to pack ski boots & poles + backpack. All I need is skies on top..

Hmm, I wonder if I put the passenger seat down, will skis fit inside the car, going sideways from the trunk almost to the windshield? I'm thinking, almost any car should fit a pair of skies this way.

I don't own Z yet but getting very close.

Here, something like this could work for my purposes:

Only thing is, I would be careful with these in cold temperature. GPS mounts are also suction based and in freezing cold weather they don't hold too well..

My goal is to easily transport skis to my friends house where we take his car
I don't think I'll be taking Z to the slopes...

What's wrong with taking the Z snowboarding? I Can fit 4 snowboards in the Z with no probs. I like the look of a slammed car with a snowbaord rack on top..

I think he's referring to the fact that: Snow + 350Z = wrecked Z.
