    Have someone do measurements for you. Obviously you can do the bottom measurements yourself since they have to fit the rail area...

    ok i know that this is a stupid crazy question but does anyone have one extra rail? the more I look at it it seems the easiest way to make one would be to make a cast and pour plastic into it. I'd really need an original for that to work. The time that I would try and do that would be around thanks giving. any takers? If I can get it to turn out id make you an extra copy or send you some money or something.

    I would've suggested that to begin with if they were a bit more common. I'd drive around town and look for an 01 or 02 GP with the rails, follow them till you can talk to them and make them a deal.

    see thats the thing is I'd probably need them for a whole week and I've only seen one set in cedar falls and there defiantly isnt any in harlan. which sucks. I think that if I had em tho I could make a decent set. both sides are the same right? so If I copy one Id have em both

    Theres a young girl with a 2000 Daytona that sits in her driveway on my way to school. Roof rails are sweet.
