Black Roof Rack Options for 2017 Subaru Impreza Wagon
Question:
I am looking for a fixed crossbar set for my 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport 5 Dr hatch. This will be used for transporting a kayak. Does rhino or Thule have something like what I am looking for? I know if I was to go through Subaru they are only offering me 1 style which isnt in all black, which I am looking for. If you can send me pics that would be great. Serious customer and any help would be greatly appreciated as I am looking to make a purchase sooner than later. Thank you

We have black roof racks for the 2017 Subaru Impreza wagon, for both bare roof and raised side rail variants and you can see all on the linked page. At the top of the page please click on the type of roof set-up you have and then you'll see only the black roof racks for that kind of roof.
You have roof rack options from several makers including Thule and Rhino-Rack and in several bar styles including round, square, rectangular and the quietest type, the wing-like Aero style which generate less wind noise than all other bar types. You also have a choice between racks whose bars extend out past the rack feet and ones whose bars terminate in the feet, like the Thule AeroBlade Edge rack made of parts # TH7602B-TH7603B and # THKIT3158. Many consider this rack style to have a more OEM-like appearance.
If you have a bare roof, you have a low-cost option from Inno (who makes Subaru OEM racks), their square bar rack made of parts # INB127, # INXP and # INTR145.
If you have a roof with raised rails you can still get the OEM look from Thule with their rack # TH7502B-TH7503B.
You can refer to the linked articles on roof racks and kayak carriers for more information or simply tell me what roof style you have and the length and weight of your kayaks. A great side-mount kayak carrier that fits on all bar shapes is the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834. If you prefer a rear-loading kayak carrier you might like the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier # RR581.
