Yeah, the Prospeed looks great and I really wanted one. I wanted as low a profile rack as I could get. I'll bet The Prospeed is absolutely quiet with the huge flush fairing. The Prospeed has even less cross-bars than my Terrafirma rack which sucks (the Terrafirma needs more cross bars), but the Prospeed has great flooring options (optional at extra cost, of course). I had ordered (and paid) for the Prospeed rack, the short rail kit for my roof, flooring, and eye bolts...about $1770 total but I cancelled it after about 3 or 4 months when I realized the no one was getting these racks anymore.

I'm happy with the Terrafirma - it just needs more cross bars. Too late for that now so I'll have to figure out some chicken coop flooring. I guess they don't cover these racks with cross bars to save on weight. But when you try to put some Pelicans, Maxtrax, firewood, etc. up there you realize that there aren't nearly enough cross bars to support the items and serve as anchor points.

I've never seen that Out-Rack one that you linked. Looks pretty nice....and light. I'm not too big on the full-flat look from the front angle though, and I'll bet that front area generates a ton of noise.

I honestly couldn't tell the difference and thought yours was a prospeed with a modified fairing. I agree about the floor, its like they designed the racks just to look cool and not function. I think the wind noise think might not be as big of a deal as you'd think. I spent weeks trying to quiet down my yakima round bars (moving back and forward, paracord, you name it) and what shut them up was mounting giant ski racks on them. Huge frontal area, less noise. Beats me.

Dear aftermarket windshield replacement companies that do this....I hate you.

Looks light wiring up the lights turned into a bigger project than anticipated.
Yep, spent the afternoon cleaning this shit up. Gobs of adhesive on both sides. I had ordered a couple dozen of the little yellow retainer clips from Atlantic British so I'm covered there. Didn't have time to even get into wiring so just put A-pillar trim back - correctly this time with the clips.
