Re: Car Cover???

If you want a very nice supreme car cover....go with a cover from California Car Covers. I bought a custom made black car cover for mine and it's one of the best investments I've bought for the car so far.

Expensive...? Yeah....but they are super super nice and are made for your car. You could go out and buy a cheapy at Autozone....but they seem to be very abrasive and don't "fit" the car very well

I honestly can't remember what type is was. I know when I ordered it...I made sure that it was strictly an in-door car cover....and it feels like a flanner shirt on the inside of it....

I'm thinking it's a "plushweave"...I remember it was over $300.00 though..

Re: Car Cover???

FYI if you put a cover on a car that sits outside, the flapping from the wind will destroy the paint; you should never put a cover on a car that sits outside.

Agreed...BUT...it also depends what type of car cover. The cheap covers from Autozone would for sure. But if you go with a higher quality cover...that is soft on the inside...it'll be fine

Re: Car Cover???

a direct fit for your car sits snug and should not flap at all! mine never flapped in the wind, it was always taut against the car.
