Gobi and Manik racks - what does the wife think?

[dna]

Guys, I want to add a Gobi or Manik full rack to my white 2003 H2. I really like the look and think it will add convenience.

The prob is the wife DOES NOT like the look. She kind of thinks they look ugly and can't see any function. I tell her for camping we can just throw the luggage and misc **** up there and strap it down, but we live in Vancouver where it rains a lot so she says that is not feasible.

For those with the racks, what did your significant other say? How did you finally convince them this rack is the right way to go?

Thanks
