    Hi - We are looking for recommendations for soft sided cargo carriers for our Optima. Is there a compatible rack or basket system for this model? And how are they installed?

    Yep. 20' SR Rigid just got mounted up. It's their new hyperspot with the driving pattern on the outsides. The '16 with the pano roof actually as a perfect channel to run wires. More on the install later...bed time...yes, I know it's 8:45PM :) It goes well with the setup I?m running. Which...

    So I saw a genesis coupe on Instagram the other day with a roof rack and a light bar. I was wondering if anyone knew a simple roof rack that fits on the optima and what the opinions the light bar brings
  8. Hybrids
    Got some pictures of my 2014 Hybrid EX Premium with my kayak on the roof today! I bought a Thule Aeroblade bar set, 480R foot pack and the Glide and Set kayak carrier. I put in the front tow hook for the bow tie down and the rear was hooked underneath the car. Rookie mistake, I failed to...

    I have a 2012 Optima Hybrid with the pano sunroof, i.e. two panes of glass as the roof. I have had ZERO problems with it. I'm thinking about adding a roof rack for my sea kayak. It's listed at 62lbs, but I think it's actually more. It wouldn't be all the time. Just once in a while for a quick...

    I have a Yakima Whispbar setup on my Golf R and would like to add one for the kia. Yakima's site is miss-leading as to if it will fit with the glass roof or not.... Im stationed over seas and online sales will be how i have to order this. I don't want to shell out $400 for a rack just to have to...

    Hey guys, I know this already been discussed, just want some opinions about Yakima & Thule roof racks for the Optima's. I see some forum members with Yakima rack without glass roof. My question is will glass roof Optima's work with this set up? Or Thule is my only choice. Thanks!

  17. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    In the past few years, I've purchased three sets of winter wheels and tires from tire rack. They all came with a crappy set of nickel plated lug nuts that started to rust after a couple months of winter driving. On the last set that I purchased for my Subaru, one of the lug nuts rusted to the...
