The main things with roof baskets are wind noise and your gas mileage suffering.
Yeah I would expect that, for some reason I have a bit of wind noise already. I tend to think it might even be the wing mirrors.

You're right about gas mileage, it makes a difference on mine even with the cross bars installed!! And they are Pbars, some low profile things.
