Salt water and ocean air on your paint FTL.

lol, but seriously: Check with the dealership first to see if there's an OEM unit.
Then just get online like everyone else. Google is your friend.

(it's going to scuff you paint though.....)

Im in your shoes too.. I have a yakima rack from my evo IX but since my evo IX is gone... i wanted to know what would i need to make it fit on my X. Im thinking that all id need is new clips. Also as blaze said, it does scratch your paint. BTW i just noticed all our car pix is of white evo X hahahhaa

but it doesnt show up on the site.

I think white is the way to go, the blue was a close second.

HOPEFULLY by winter yakima will have something. That way i dont have to buy a whole new system.

I know that for my Mini Cooper, that didnt have a rack system, you can through bold rack feet onto the roof :) It actually worked out good, but when you took the racks off the small black foot stayed on the roof.

I was browsing through a JDM Mitsubishi parts catalog and Mitsubishi does have a roof rack for the 10. You may need to special order this. I don't know if Mitsu US carries the same parts.

Sure. You just have to know the right people here, or have/find a contact in Japan.

Order them there. You'll get them in about a week.
