Yakima Roof Rack fitment on a 2003 EVO 8???
According to their site and to my call to customer service, the yakima rack says it only supports the 2005-2006 EVO. Now I am pretty sure that the roof geometry didn't change from 2003-2005, but I hate to buy a rack that won't work.
Anyone here have a roof rack for there 03, or 04 EVO?????
Thanks in advance.

Ill post some pics of my roof rack system to give you in idea. I love it so much
Only certain models had factory roof rack clips under the rubber in the roof gutters,
Give me a couple hours, Ill post my roof rack pics.
Ill never buy any other roof
rack system.
But that's if you got the steel roof model correct me IF I am wrong.
I know Yakima make roofs racks for the evo but they go throw between the window
frame and body but they work great just don't tighten it to tight u will damage the
paint on your car
All evos 2003-2006 same roof structure no differences even lancers, besides alumium
roof and steel on evos
steel roof has built in roof clips
my roof rack is made by Thule I love it
