Cargo Box?
Any of you guys or gals have a pic of your pepper with a cargo box on top? I wanted to get a look at color choices I have; black, silver or titanium preferably a Yakima Sky box. Thanks!

There are some in the Post Photos of JUST your P!g thread.
You can see part of mine (Yakima Skybox 16) on the last (19th) page, but most of the focus is of my kid at the wheel. There is another shot of a white 958 farther down on the same page with a smaller box on top.
I went with the basic SkyBox rather than the "Pro" with the glossy finish. I liked the glossy look better, but since leaving it on the roof kills the MPG its not like it's up there as a fashion statement.
In my ~2k trip back and forth to FL with it I found it made a significant impact to the dynamics of the P!g, but nothing too horrible and even the increased wind noise wasn't too bad (until you open the sunroof!).
If you are talking about putting a box on a 958, you need the factory roof rails (cross bars don't matter). If you just use the after market clamps from Yakima/Thule the box will take up almost half the weight those clamps can hold. The factory rails allow up to 220lbs which gives you about 170lbs over your typical box weight.
