Roof rack-sedan, low cost

[Steven Hauptmann]

Speaking of roof racks, I have been putting off getting one for our car for
a long time now. The Avant rack posts now have wanting to go ahead and get
one for my sedan.

Is there anyone out there who knows how to put together a nice looking rack
for the sedan on a modest budget. I would love to just tell the local bike
shop to order me a Yak/Thule, but I just cant seem to justify the cost.

Are ALL the components specific to each car, or can we buy the feet (?)
specifically for our application and then get everything else generic (ie.
readily available used)?

Thanks,
