edit: wow, thule seems a bit more expensive....I'm confused about how the thule mounts, I can't see pictures in this thread, being at work. The yakima has a "stretch" base, which makes it possible to mount on a car with just 2 doors, but how does the thule work? something similar?
Good racks aren't cheap, but you can find stuff on ebay, craigslist etc for a good price...I had a Thule fit kit for the EP and the short roof adapter for sale on here for a while, but they ended up selling on ebay for cheap.

The short-roof adapter would be about the same thing as the Yakima stretch kit. you may or may not need it depending on what you're using it for.
I needed it...
