Test placement before making brackets and painting it all black.

I'm not sure if it's maybe a bit much, what do you guys think? Too tall?

It's fairly light so I'm not worried about weight. But I don't want to look like a numpty ...

Looks good, but as you say a bit too tall. With stuff in it however, it would look great :-)

How is it for wind noise? I found mine was terrible without the lightbar and some waffle boards on

I'll second that, it's a great idea for a roof rack but a little too tall at the moment for my taste, but if u are happy go with it.

Strangely I also found the addition of a light bar on the front of my rack has reduced the wind noise considerably. Was not that bad before, but both the wife and myself have noticed the extra silence.

I think that looks great. Don't think it will look too tall once loaded up.
