I JUST bought these over the Rivian ones because I wanted black (and I like how they are flush on the ends). Anyone else have the EVBase ones?
Much cheaper than the Rivian option. With the discount code they are $327 plus tax. Took what the weight capacity is?

They look wicked! I'm trying to justify needing them despite the fact that I have tons of room inside the R1.

NICE !!! and great price also. Do you need proprietary attachments (ie, ski/snowboard ) or will my Thule work??

These would look grey in AZ within a year... the only advantage is you can grill your chicken or bacon on it...

I was hoping for this. In the meantime, I was scheming how to paint or powder coat the standard bars.

It shows as “no stock.” Is it already sold out or just not available yet?
New item. Likely not in stock yet but as s00n as that container arrives...

I too have the silver ones but like the looks of the all black. I wonder whether I could powder coat the ones I have. Any thoughts?
Powdercoat is most likely too thick. Cerakoting (epoxy resin) or anodizing (electrolytic process) is the way. Professional cerakoting is easier to find locally (typically done to firearms) and there are two kinds: oven cured or air-dried. Oven cured is more durable and would likely require low heat or full disassembly down to just the aluminum parts. Cerakote goes on thin with airbrush—0.25-3 Mils, thinner than typical human hair (4 Mils). Whether Cerakoting or anodizing, the cost is likely not productive. You're probably better off selling your used ones for ~$400/set to buy the black ones.

Someone else mentioned scratches... For sure the silver ones will hide scratches better. But, how often do you mount and unmount stuff?

I was just thinking about how I can make my crossbars black since everything else chrome on my car has been blacked out.

I may just spray paint them black, not shelling out $650 for these. Especially since I just bought them for looks, I use them once a yr if that.

I might have mistyped. Otherwise... flex pricing!! That should add another 17+ pages of complaints. /s
Is that where they put cookies in your browser and decide based on your metrics what your price will be? Could be ?

Based on how many times you've complained about not having Apple Carplay. ?

$20 of plasti dip and then rattle can the color you want. saved a lot of money on my Bronco color matching my “mall parking lot Jewelry” and holds up well to such abuse. ;)

What’re the static and dynamic loads?
