Kayak and base rack for 2006 Toyota Prius

Customer Question:

I would like a recommendation on the best type of base rack and kayak rack for my 2006 Toyota Prius. Aerodynamics are important to me. Thanks!

Racks for All Recommendation

Thule has a nice custom fit for your Prius:

Thule 50 Inch Load Bars (1 Pair)

Qty: x 1

Thule Glide and Set

Qty: x 1

Thule Fairing 871XT (Medium)

I have recommended a popular horizontal kayak rack (the Glide and Set).

Please note that the fairing is optional but cuts down on wind noise, and locks are completely optional.
