Looks good mounted up on the car and the aerodynamic shape really does cut down on drag, which keeps the noise down when you're on the highway. Be aware that it can be a real pain to mount, so I'd recommend putting these on your crossbars before you put them on the car (assuming your crossbars are easily removable.) The mounting system is hit-or-miss when it comes to factory crossbars; I have a 2008 Subaru Impreza that came with super-wide aero crossbars that this just barely fit on, and ended up looking silly to boot. Since I was having trouble finding any accessories that fit properly on those crossbars I finally ditched them for a Yakima Qtower setup ... so be forewarned that this might not fit well (or at all) on some factory setups. Barring the problem I just mentioned, the mounting system is really solid; as designed it is almost impossible for someone to swipe this off your car without either picking the lock or sawing it off your crossbars... a big plus when you're lugging around a couple grand worth of ski/snowboard gear on top of your car.
