Really looking for black roof bars , purely for cosmetic reasons so visual appearance and quality are the main things I'm looking at. Thinking of wrapping the roof in black and think the roof bars blend it all in nicely.
So any recommendations ?

The Rhino bars that came on my van are noisey as 10 bears at 70mph........ but they do seem really well built

Yeah it was in the back of my mind when i picked it up, but didnt think much of it until i drove it. I knew straight away what the howling whistling noise was lol
Someone once told me they had a Suzuki Swift Sport, at certain speed, the ariel on the roof would bend and hammer the hell out of the roof.
Im not sure if you can get more areodynamically shaped roof bars mind, the Rhino ones are boxy
