I can tell you that EMPI uses crap powder coating. The one on my bug is empi. -----Original Message----- From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 9:46 am Subject: [tcb] Roof rack question Hello everyone, What brand of roof rack should I get for the rear of my 23 window? There is a 46" from Vintage Warehouse for $435 and a 45 1/2" from EMPI for $299 and a set of locks for $35. Is there anywhere else I should look? Wolfgang has them but I really hate buying something that expensive without seeing a photo of some kind. Thanks!
