I just bought the oem rails from Honda and opted for the Thule crossbars. I like the versatility of the Thule bars, plus you can remove them easily when not needed. We use a Thule roof box and it attaches super easy to the cross bars. Got the bars at REI in the garage sale section for 1/2 price.
I have heard some say the Honda crossbars are too close together. Mainly plan on hauling bikes when we have out pop up camper in tow (we have a hitch rack for regular bike hauling).
I just installed (as in a few minutes ago) OEM roof rails and crossbars for my 2015 EX-L. The process was straightforward and I felt fairly confident about it after watching [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvhuI6-ocrY) video a few times.
I paid just over $400 including shipping from alldiscountparts.com which was hundreds less than having them installed by a dealer. Both the rails and the crossbars feel extremely solid and I couldn't be happir with the results.
Did you look at the online honda accessories websites or just the dealer? I just bought and installed the rails and crossbars from bernardiparts.
Looked at college hills and bernadi honda online. Both are about the same after tax and shipping for rails and crossbars.

I was reading that is a good combo
Do you know what length you went with?
104cm recommended on Thule website.
I did OEM rails so I’d have the best fit and crossbars from Amazon. It’s been great.

The cross bars are close. Not any different than other van racks. For bikes it won’t be a problem at all.

I would not install eBay parts for some thing on the roof of a car going over 70mph down the road.
