Car cover ideas?

Ok i did a seach and didnt find what i wanted. Most are looking for them for outdoor use and thats not me.


I store the car in the winter(just put it away two days ago) and need a cover for indoor use. I want a nice fitted cover tho. To mostly keep out dust and prevent small scratches and so on. I even checked out the ferrari fourms and got some ideas. Not finding anything that is fitted to our cars tho.

Most online are geared more for outside and arent very soft. I just need a nice indoor cover for when im storing it (painted floor heated garage...very nice actually)

Wondering what any of you guys are using?

Re: Car cover ideas?

Edit-Saw you have a Firebird. Although, I think a camaro one should fit just fine.

Re: Car cover ideas?

I have a nice blue camaro cover that fits great! It's simply indoor too like you want. Problem is my neighbor gave it too me, and i don't know where you could get one. My guess is it's an old dealer accesery.

Problem is I was stupid and put it on the car was my dirty so i have to try and clean it all nice and good. I'll get a picture soon!

Re: Car cover ideas?

haha pictures would be great....any markings on it at all....maybe a GM stamp?....I dont really care who makes it. I just want a nice indoor one that is actually fitted to my car. Ive had the nice universal ones and didnt really like um THAT much. Cant complain for the price of them but id prefer a nice fitted cover.

Re: Car cover ideas?

If money is not an issue, I recommend these car pockets. They are great. I store my car in the garage all winter long in one of these. When i get it out its as clean as it was when I put it in there.

here is the link

Re: Car cover ideas?

I actually saw you post that in an older thread lol. I did check it out....it looks neat but I kind of want a fitted cover. My car also still leaks just a LITTLE bit of oil if it sits for a long awhile so i dont want it to get on the bottom of that pocket cover thing.


Thanks for the idea tho. Ill still keep it in the back of my head...btw, i love your car and im not a camaro guy much

Thanks man. I put cardboard under the car so it keeps the pocket clean. But just putting it out there. Well worth it.

Re: Car cover ideas?

I have used these covers for the past 3 years. I find them reasonable for the indoor storage & occasional outdoor use i do.

Re: Car cover ideas?

Thanx guys^^


Ive checked out empire before(today at work lol). I really liked the looks and quality of them



I guess i have a better question for you all. What is the best material for indoor use. This cover will NEVER see the outside weather. Just inside a heated garage. Just trying to keep the dust and stupid cat from scratching it up.

Re: Car cover ideas?

I bought mine through california car cover....custom fit for the car. Even has mirror pockets. Cost me about $300.00 in black to match my car. Worth the money for sure.
