Does anybody make roof racks yet? Not those universal kind but ones that actually fit right.

I havent seen any yet, I kinda want one myself.
I, too, am looking for a roof rack. I've seen a yellow iM on the web with an Inno Aero roof rack. Looks good.

Has anyone ever had any experiences with roof racks? With they damage paint?
Toyota Corolla accessories

Why is it that we never have anything good. I email a manufacturer about the window visors and they didn't if/when they would come out with them but in Australia its a factory option. They have racks too.
Nothing really made with the Scion iM in mind but there are a log of basic ones that should fit. Never installed roof racks so I wouldn't know how it affects paint.
I think the Toyota Auris has been out for some time already and with that being said there might just be something out there for the Auris that we can use.
i want the kind that sits flush on the rails, those look great.
@Sfactor
yes, exactly like that but i feel like i shouldve elaborated a bit. what i meant is that toyota doesnt offer that but its what i would like if there was one.
The whispbar type is the ones I'm after
Anyone get racks yet?
Also in for hearing this, about the whispbar specifically, don't like the one with a chrome/shiny finish, wouldn't like to know how that finish will hold up over time.
no racks yet. I emailed scion again and asked why they sell racks in japan and not here and they just said they don't know if/when they will sell them here. same goes for the window visors.
They were announced when the car was unveiled. I guess the official ones will come later.

Honestly, just go on Thule's UK or Auz site and check what parts you need for the 5 door Auris. These parts will be available in North America. Installation will be the same. Don't understand why no one's mentioned this yet. It's what I intend to do, personally.

I know it's weird, especially when it's one of those things that should be linear from market to market, doubt they'll need time to make changes. Only thing I can imagine is a supply issue. But of course it's not like they'll tell us that.
I just received My Inno rack yesterday. They're assembled and sitting in my living room right now. I'll be installing them on the car tomorrow. Didn't have time before it got dark out today. I'll take some pictures and post them when I've got them installed.
which one did you get? They list 3 different ones that they say fit. Also be sure to get some pics and let us know how they fit.
So I got the Inno Aerorack installed. It looks good on the car and feels like it's part of the car. I haven't had a chance to install my snowboard carriers yet. But as is the rack is very quiet at highway speeds. Attached some pics.

Is it possible to put the back rack further back? Or is the clamping arm not long enough? They look great but I would like them a little further apart if I get some.
