The Thule 400XT Aero Complete Roof Rack Base System will fit your 2004 Acura TL nicely. No matter what gear you plan to carry on your roof, you will need a multi-purpose roof rack base system. The Thule 400XT Aero system includes four 400XT Aero feet, four FitKit 2054 Clips (specific to your 2004 Acura TL) and two square load bars (please note the 50" length square load bars are the recommended length for your Acura TL roof top). You will attach the snowboard rack to the 400XT Aero front and rear load bars.

You can then attach either the Thule 91725 or 91726 Deluxe Pull Top ski/snowboard racks directly to the 400XT Aero front and rear load bars. The difference between the 91725 and the 91726 Deluxe Pull Top is that the 91726 telescopes out from the roof to allow you to more easily load your snowboards, then it slides back into place. Both carry 4 snowboards very well and also allow you to mix and match transporting skis and snowboards if you ever care to. Both include locks for locking your snowboards inside the rack. Works perfectly as a wakeboard carrier in the summer too!
