White roof rack options???

Short of powder coating a black roof rack, does anyone know how I can get my hands on a white roof rack for my Mini Cooper S (R53)??? Seems like the most obvious thing for Mini or Thule, etc. to make, but I can't find one anywhere.

I actually have the OEM one from MINI, but its silver crossbeams with black "feet" which are mounted directly into the roof. Id love to sell it since it collects dust and is never on the car if you or anyone else is interested

my friend powder coated his yakima rack which costs $45 at a local auto shop here in san francisco. How much are you selling the rack for uconnhuskiesfans? is drilling necessary?

Damn. $45 is not bad at all. Might have to do that. Thanks for the tip.
