Thule Roof Rack and Evo

Before I bought the roof rack I kept reading on how Thule Rack systems attach to the roof of the car which specially on MR editions it's not a good idea.
After doing a lot of research, I found a particular set that looked like it might work on the evo, so I said what the heck.
I ordered the kit from orsrackdirect.com
2010 Thule 480 Traverse for the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, 50" bars.
2010 Yakima ButtonDown Aero rack 4 snowboards.

The system installs/unistalls in a matter of 5 minutes. It a perfect set for the driver that needs it a couple times out of the year. The Yakima snowboard rack comes off easily, leaving the bars exposed so the rack could be used to carry other merchandise.











Dont mind my friend, He wouldn't stop posing in there.
The kit fits PERFECTLY on the evo, there was absolutely no scratches or any dents cause by the rack.
We had just come back from the storm that hit Pinetop in Arizona, That is why the car is a little dirty.

I got my yakima for 100$(with a brand new wind fairing), just pieced it together off craigslist, so that seems spendy. But either way looks good

Very nice. I was looking to get a roof rack for my bike, but went with a trailer hitch instead.

I tried doing craigslist as well as ebay, but It was too many parts I had to come together with. $400 isn't much anyway, for what I will get out of it.
Craigslist here in Tucson, Az is not a good idea.
