Without knowing your vehicle and how the Rhino-Rack Vortex is attached I can't say exactly what fairing is going to be best. You will need to take some measurements on your roof to select the correct length fairing from the list below. I have included the minimum distance required between the legs for each fairing on the list. If you have raised or flush mounted side rails you will also need to ensure the fairing is narrow enough to not contact the rails.

32" Fairing # RRRF1 (Minimum space between crossbar legs: 26")
38" Fairing # RRRF2 (Minimum space between crossbar legs: 30-1/2")
44" Fairing # RRRF3 (Minimum space between crossbar legs: 35-1/2")
50" Fairing # RRRF4 (Minimum space between crossbar legs: 43")
