Yes, it is. I did it on my old 93, but I can't remember exactly what it involved.
I'm sure someone that's done it more recently can pipe in, but I think I had to remove the front caps on the bar, unbolt the front mounts and then slide the crossbars out. Remount the ends and put the caps back on. Looks much better:

well, looked at the rack again and couldnt figure it out so brought it to my subie mechanic who said its not meant to be removed and he would have to go from the inside and remove headliner ect...and it would be a 6 hour labor job! so, what now?

'tis done! popped off the cover, remove two bolts, unscrew one screw on side and 2 on bottom, repeat for other side, slide front bars off and then rear bars off. reattach and 'voila! will have to talk to my subie guru about this 
thanks!

thanks!
