Default Looking for a Crossbar.

I am shopping around for a Crossbar.
Those who have a Crossbar, Would you be so kind to post some pic's of your set-up?

What is the best one on the market right now?

Any Vendors here offer a decent crossbar?

any help would be great.
Thanks!

Inside the car for a 5 point seat belt mount & for a Camera mount.
I see a "few" around, but they don't show the finish on the mounts inside the car.
I am mostly concerned how much needs to be modified on the inner side panels.

I like the look of a Sharkbar, but they don't offer to the C5's. They make them for the C6's.

I had one in my C4, and it was clean, and an easy install....I'd like to see the same thing as well for the C5.

Agreed. Easy to install.
I had one in my 96 WS6 & was able to record a lot of good footage, & now with a GoPro,
You can have 2 cameras facing opposite ways without taking a lot of room.
