I have a Thule rig on my Mazda 3 hb and love it. I've had it for about a year & a half now, using it approx. every couple of weeks with no issues. Every few trips or so I just check to make sure everything is secure and tight. Great quality & MADE IN THE USA! When I was installing my rack I had some questions, called customer service and got very good help. If you can get it on the cheap, jump all over it. I got the regular bars but wish I would have sprung for the aero bars just because they look nicer. Get the Fairing for sure though. It cuts down the wind noise big time. I went with the Glide and Set option. I wanted the Hullivator but its only rated to 75lbs. and I have a Pro Angler soooo...nope. Also, they have a cool mat accessory to put on your roof while loading now. I'd pick that up too. Sand + Car paint =
. Your set up won't be too ridiculous. Here is a pic of my PA on my sled. Don't get much funnier than this
