I had the same problem. The best prices I found were on craigslist. Ebay was a little bit more expensive, but still better than new

The Honda civic racks will work on your evo.
They have a ton of those on craigslist all the time

I've found the best prices on racks here Rock/Creek, I just bought some towers and poles for my Outlander. Fast shipment as well.

I fit my 162 and my wifes 151 in the back, but I usually take the back seat out because I dont want to mess up my seats. I just take the backseat out and cover everything up with bed sheets and towels. Works but Im always scared to scratch up my doors or the back side of my front seats, so a roof rack is a must for me soon.

Does such a rack exist that can be used for both skis, boards, and mountain bikes? That would make me a happy person
