Clearly 350z_Parasram missed this.
I still see the car driving around sometimes but it definitely no longer has the roof rack, new owner either removed it, or he removed it before selling it.

Any additional info would be great. I'm sure many others would be grateful for a solution like yours as well now that Boofsquire seems to no longer be shipping kits.

Had to bring back my bike from friends garage, so I attached the racks and also took some pictures.
When I was searching for a rack for my Z, I didn't have many options. Didn't want a rack with straps. I visited a guy who lends out Thule equipment. I tried for like 15 clamps. Nothing fitted, but the nearest were older Subaru ones which had bended ends. If I had to fabricate another set, I'd definitely use Subaru ones. Mine were probably 06 Corolla clamps - don't use these because you need to do a lot of bending-cutting-welding.
The pumps on the clamps are welding marks. The both clamp ends have to be welded under an angle. Clamps are covered with heat-shrinkable tube.

I found a picture of the first clamp before covering with heat-shrinkable tube. The center part is additionally welded.

beleive me like i said i know everyone isnt going to like it u cant satisfy everyone, i understand that. this is just so people can get an idea of what it looks like, and personally ive always liked the way racks looked on some sports cars.. and def looks tons better than the boofsquire.. and as far as damaging anything not even... pretty much this was just for test purposes and it will be coming off again i just wanted to see what it would look like. thanks for the good and bad comments..
