I actually had a Yakima from my civic that I absolutley LOVE... the yakima is much better than the Thule IMHO. So anyway, I ordered the new "fit kit" (clips) for the IS300 this week from www.rackwarehouse.com and they said since the part is so new, they had to order it direct from Yakima... most places I talked to said it would take 3 weeks, these guys claim a few days, so I went with them.

Since you are in NJ, if you want to get a Yakima or a Thule, I'd suggest going to Campmor on Rt. 17 North.( www.campmor.com )The people who work there ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL!!!

I know, strange to hear that these days, but it's true. They'll even help you put the rack on your car in the parking lot.

Hey I just called there 1-800 # and they couldn't give me any info. on the fit kit. Could u provide us with that info for the Yakima fit kit. I went to the rack warehouse web site and Yakima's. Essentially, they say there team is working on a fit for the IS 300.

List of parts needed for the IS300 Yakima Rack:
4 Q-towers
2 48" crossbars
4 q-clips (I believe they are q-clip #112)
Locks are optional, but RECOMENDED!!!
I know that most stores do NOT carry the q-clip for the IS300 in stock, but Yakima DOES have a fitment kit because they published it in their fit guide that retailers get.

My civic was a 95 4 door... the 2 door version won't fit the Lex. It needed the 48" crossbars. I checked and all the parts carry over from my old civic except the clips, which ran me about $56 from rack warehouse (shipping incl.)

UPDATE:
I called rackwarehous.com and they said they're expecting the parts in by Tues. or Wed. next week. They told me that the part is actually q-clip #111 and REI does have this part in stock.
FYI q-towers come in a 4 pack, crossbars come in a 2 pack but q-clips only come in 2 packs, and you need 4. Locks are sold in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 packs using a "same-key system." so make sure you buy more locks than you think you'll need. each corner takes 1 lock, but you will want to have a lock for each component you have on top of the standard rack.
If you get a rocket box, the locks built in.
