Pics added. Any snowboarders or skiers, this thing is ready to throw on your car in 5 minutes! you could be driving your Evo to the mountain with your gear on top this weekend or even sooner. You'll save a lot buying this from me.

No, not if you install it correctly on a clean and freshly waxed car. The clips have vinyl on them to protect you paint, and the towers have silicone or a similar material for the same reason. Every time I take it off you can barely tell it was there, and after a wash with it off you can't tell at all.
One of the reasons the rack is in such good shape is because I didn't have it on very much. The Q-towers' latches make it so easy and fast to put on and take off, I would only put it on when I wanted to use it. It was even easier with the bike racks because they hold the whole thing together. I would just set it on a clean roof, make sure it was even, latch the towers/clips down, and lock it. It's that simple. You can literally do it in 5-10 minutes. First-time installation when it's new is another story though, it took hours.

Interesting. So if I'm reading all the above correctly just the snowboard bits would run $330, or am I missing anything else that I don't realize, like the fairing? I don't know that I could do this right now, but I have some friends that I could probably push toward you.

That's $375 for a base rack, fairing, snowboard rack, and locks with 2 spares, that would normally cost $768 before tax and shipping new. Everything is as good as new.

Damn, that is a good deal! My friends have been pushing for me to buy a rack lately since I just started snowboarding. If I wasn't such a noob at snowboarding, I would totally pick this up right now lol. Good luck with the sale!
