I have a 2007 LS 460 and want to add roof rails. Lexus does not make roof rails for the LS. Rather than Thule or Yakima, I would like to add the silver roof rails from the 2010-11 RX 350 or 400. Does anyone know if their contour will fit on an LS 460? I know the RX have brackets into which the rails screw which the LS does not, but this could be added if they rail contour would fit the roof line of the LS 460. Has anyone tried this?

 

please don't...

 

Are u serious dude?

 

That's why u have a trunk! If it don't fit, it's not that important, nor worth taking!!! Just my .2 Cents!!!

 

Are you warped?

 

you must be jiving us!! Its an LS460. Its one of the top luxury sedans in the world, not a station wagon. what are you trying to load on top of the car??

 

Lexus does not produce a roof rack because its not meant to have one.

 

hahahahaha!

 

on a serious note, I don't think you "can" b/c the roof racks is "drilled" into the roof, unlike the thule/yakima where they just "clip" onto the car.

I'm trying to picture this, taking the roof rack from my sienna and adding it on my LS Besides being horrifically ugly, it's not possible without having to drill into the roof.

 

Please post pictures when you do it.

 

 

Thanks for all the useless replies. My son is handicapped and I need the bike rack to carry his bike and mine. They won't fit in the trunk. I am more concerned about being able to bike with my son than what others think about a stupid car.

Seriously, do you all really worship your cars? There is more to life than a car. Part of the reason I am adding a bike rack so people won't presume I am a rim-polishing geek more worried about his car than his life.

 

trunk mounted bike rack or trailer rack maybe an option

 

Sorry Warp, I, too, thought you were putting us on, especially with a handle like "Warp"...

I'd suggest you look into getting a trailer hitch installed then look into any of the trailer hitch bike racks:

Some of the bike shops might have other alternatives.

Definitely invest into a hitch or bike rack(trunk rack) of some sort. I'm sure they build some type of device to handle your son's bike. I don't think a rack from an RX would fit on there.
