umm... did you search yakima at all?

i went to yakima's website and you can get a rack with load bars, towers, and clips to fit the car for 299.99

so lets break it down,

q towers
48" load bars
q17 clips (2 pair)

all you would need would be the front fairing for about 50, so you're looking at 350 new, or you can search ebay for individual parts.

Thule made a kit for our cars back in the day.

Yeah, Thule's fit kit for 3rd Gens appears to be discontinued. Yakima may be the only option.

Shoot me a PM if you'd like to get set up with your old s/n here.

yeah i have a new fairing and i don't like it, it's kind of ugly, i liked the bigger square ones better.
