The SportRack Roof Rack for the 2005 Honda Accord, part # SR1002, fits your 4-door sedan. SportRack does not offer fairings for their roof rack systems.

I checked with my contact at Thule and they advised that the SportRack square crossbars have dimensions that make them incompatible with the hardware supplied with Thule fairings. Just to be absolutely certain I did test-fit a Thule fairing on the SportRack crossbar. As Thule advised, and by a very small margin, the hardware will not fit the crossbar.

Yakima fairings are all intended for round crossbars and so they too are incompatible with the SportRack.

In case you do not yet have the SportRack mounted on your Accord you might consider other racks that can accept fairings. I have provided a link to our product page for Honda roof racks where you can use the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to select your vehicle style and view racks with round crossbars that do accept fairings.
