Question:
I will be happy to walk you through what you will need to add a roof rack and kayak carrier to 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the budget you mentioned. You said there are places to install a rack system, but I am unsure if that meant your '18 Outlander Sport had a naked roof (meaning no rails of any kind on the roof already) or a roof with factory flush-mounted rails that run front to back so I'll give you options for both. Rhino Rack is a high-quality roof rack manufacturer and they have a great aero rack available; I highly recommend a rack with aero bars as it will cut down on the amount of wind noise and drag that square or round bars give you. - If your Outlander Sport has a naked roof (no rails at all), the rack will be made up of Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 (Black) OR # RRVA126S-2 (Silver), Crossbar Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK289. - If your Outlander Sport has flush mounted side rails the rack will be made up of Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 (Black) OR # RRVA126S-2 (Silver ) and Crossbar Legs # RRSX031. To carry a pair of kayaks a great option is the Inno Kayak Carrier System # INA455. It fits most crossbars and has padding to keep your kayaks from getting any scuffs or scratches. This carrier also comes with the necessary tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs for a pair of kayaks so you are not going to need to purchase those separately. This is obviously quite a bit of information so if you have any questions please let me know and I'll be happy to answer them for you.
