All black '09 roof rack on '08

Decided to buy the black roof rack after looking at the installation directions for both the '08 and '09 roof racks.  The only difference between the two directions were the length of the roof strip.  Apparently the '09+ have a slightly longer strip.  The cuts are identical though.

So I bought the '09, put it together with 8 torx bolts on the crossbars and 12 torx bolts on the side rails.  Mounting was a breeze.  The cutting of the roof strips took the longest but it was easy enough with the rotary tool.  I made sure to measure my marks at least 3-4 times on both sides.  I almost made a mistake but caught it in time.  Once you cut the strips you just place them in the rail and then put the assembled rack on top.  You can adjust the strip to make it fit since the cuts give you some leeway to do so.  Once everything was bolted to the roof the Ridgeline looked a little more manly.

Nice looking all black rack
