For half the price as Honda OEM racks, and with a better look, its a good purchase. There didn't seem to be much choice for my 'naked' roof other than OEM or these BrightLines....read a number of other reviews and figured it was worth the shot. Installation requires a metal hacksaw, not listed in needed equipment, because you've got to make 4 cuts in each of the metal trim pieces that hide the roof bolts. Other than that, installation instructions were accurate and it took about 90 minutes for install...longer than I was anticipating, but not harder, just a lot of little things to do. The provided 'bolt extenders' that screw onto the roof bolts are coated, as a locking mechanism, but it did make screwing them all the way onto the roof bolts a bit challenging....took a lot of torque and I was worried that I'd blow out the roof bolt. In the end, no problems. They're quiet while driving at town and highway speeds and are sturdy. I put a rocket box on the roof easily, and now have ski racks up. Basically doing everything I wanted them to do.
