I got these yesterday and put them on last night. Thoughts?

Looks good!

They look great. Wondering what they do to range, though.

We're they easy to put on/remove?

With roof rack, you now can self-charge like this.

They look as aerodynamic as roof racks can be and hopefully don't introduce much wind noise. Don't know the design consumer reports used but when they tested, roof racks caused a 11% drop in mpg on a sedan and 19% when they loaded a storage device on the racks.

Looks nice! How easy were they to put on and take off? I am also curious about the range impact.

For a car focused on aero, I think I would have gone with a design with side rails and removable cross bars you store in the trunk.

I don't know. I already have the 21" rims/tires so my range is already compromised.

Easy to install. I don't know about taking them off, but it should be just as easy.

Looks good but don't leave them on when not in use. They will mess with the aero dynamics and affect your range

Of course. However, I think it's better to sacrifice the aerodynamics and range rather than constantly taking them on/off and introducing excessive wear/tear on the screws and screw holes. Again, if i was worried about range, I would have gotten the 19" rims.

First use of the rails

That’s creative. I like the rails, but those CA HOV access stickers are hideous. The license plate sticker looks nice, though.
