Yakima's website show's they carry a roof rack for the 04-07 cts/cts-v, but I can't find it for sale anywhere.

I do see "Rhino Rack" sells a fitted rack for the car for ~$250-350 though.

I wonder if the sunroof can be opened with a bike on the rack.

I've fit a bike in my trunk (no 40 y/o virgin ref intended). Just fold down the back seats. The front wheel may need to come off, but with a quick release that shouldn't be a problem.

Yes I can open the roof too. No problems. I really like the look of just the bars.

drive it around for a few thousand miles and then take the bars off and notice you gain an instant 1-2mpg back. if you're not using it, take them off.

I wonder if you could use a Yakima or Thule faring to help with areo. I'd just mound a big light bar between the feet.

How long did it take them to deliver after ordering? I'm thinking about getting one for spring break 2k16...Think 2 9' yaks could fit on top?

Light bar...hmmmm....I sense more redneck jokes coming my way.

Do you think this would wreck the plasti dip on the car?

XM still work with a yak on top? Damn I'm full of questions...

Could be pretty cool... but not to oncoming traffic.

Potentially/probably

I doubt a plastic kayak would interfere too much.

Damn I'm full of questions...

You realize the CTS and CTS-V are the same body, right? That shouldn't make you nervous.
