Well I just figured I would share my thoughts.

This rack is extremely versatile, Heavy Duty & Easy to install.
High Points

Follow up:

* Heavy Duty
* No Plastic Parts (weak spot on the Nissan Rack)
* EZ Bolt on Application
* Increased Carrying Capacity
* Holds more weight (I can jump on this)
* Price Vs Total Package

First off it does NOT come with the red accents, it is a powdercoat grey.
-
The rack does come with the welded tabs, they are slightly bent on both sided to give substantial strength.
-
This bolts right on to the stock rack locations, NO DRILLING REQUIRED.
The rubber pads under the stock rack are reused with the calmini rack. You just need to trim off the middle top portion of the pads to make them flat.
You will also notice the base of the rack does have the bases bent to match to roof line.
-
The rack comes in 3 pieces for shipping and this also helps with installation. There are sleeves you stick into the rack that need to be drilled out and using the self tap screws to secure. I would attach the sleeved to the front and rear portion then attach those to the main rack.
Yakima attachments DO work with the rack.
