    black lights for sure, not a fan of chrome, my brother has some Westin (8" i think) on his 2010 Ram and they work great and look good and not too expensive, so I might look those up.

    well I discussed it with my dad he and states that it will greatly impact my MPG. I was thinking a deficit of 1-2 MPG (Imperial) and he thinks it will be more then that so now I am reluctant to do it. Anyone know the real world Deficit of a roof rack?
