Thule and Yakima make the nicest aftermarket roof racks you can get. But you get what you pay for with them and the prices reflect that. What I really like about Rhino Rack is that they offer you a very high quality roof rack at a much lower price. Basically you wouldn't know the difference between a Rhino Rack or a Thule/Yakima so I like to recommend them the most as it's just the best deal and what I would buy.

The Rhino Rack bar kit part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 is a fit for your 2013 Honda CR-V with a naked roof and would be a great option.
