3,000 rpm - starting to feel the power
Review: Raceland Luggage Rack
I bought a raceland luggage rack second hand at the last All Florida Meet.
The luggage rack is stainless steel and it attaches at the back and front of the trunk. It has a lip that goes over the front and back edge and then a hex bolt is used to tighten it on there so it will not fall off.
Overall construction wise it is pretty nice. I have had 0 problems. I did have a missing piece problem so I contacted race land and they had fantastic customer support and they shipped me my part in a very timely manner. I would definitely do business with them again (only for a luggage rack).
I have taken the luggage rack to miatas at the gap with luggage attached to it and it held up nicely.
I would rate the rack a 10 out of 10 simply because it is made out of stainless steel so rust is not an issue and it really is a install it and forget about it item. It also makes the car look cool.
Here is a picture of the item installed.

2,000 rpm - light wheelspin, no bog here!
It's funny how differently people see things. I have the same rack. It is solidly built, and works very well for its designed purpose. I used it on a camping vacation touring the backroads of West Virginia, and it was very stable and sturdy. However, the way it straps down put scratches in my trunk lid. I wouldn't use it on a car with very nice paint. Mine has been sitting on a shelf in my garage for four or five years.

Mine also scratched my paint a little but not to the metal. At the end of the day I had to ask myself what I liked more and I liked the luggage rack more. I have no plans to take it off.

6,000 rpm - mere mortals would shift
I wonder if adding a fresh piece of single-sided foam tape (fresh piece every time you put it on) would help keep the paint safe. I have been meaning to get one of these for a while.
