My Thule rack didn't come with keys, PO said just get them at REI for a new set. I got some new lock set, but it won't unlock or at least loosen. Anyone know what I should do? I want to see my E30 without the rack and I don't wanna angle grind the feet which I've been planning to do if everything fails.

Has anyone incorporated a bike or two with a wood rack?

my rack back in the day

Have the same rack and was looking at doing the same thing. What material did you use for the fairing? I've actually had it without one for a while and don't think I'll be putting one on there now tho. I do like how you have mounted the fairing to the rack, very clean. The thing I didn't like about having a fairing there is that to make it the same height of the rack it just looks too big. Great job on yours! I'll get a pick of mine up later

Ya, the rack itself is quite tall relative to the roof of the car. I cut my rack down 1 inch so it is shorter than all the other "gutter grabber" racks. I think if I just angle the fairing back a bit, it will look better.

I used 1/8 inch acrylic that I had laying around. Then painted it with Plastidip from home depot. $6 a can. Used 1/2 a can, approx 4 coats.

Ya, I'll have to fab up some new brackets but that's no big deal. Shift the rack back is a 10 minute process.

What do you guys think about the fairing height?

that looks great, but i think you'll end up with even worse mpg than without it at that angle.
