Car Covers

[Schuby87]

I'm putting the TA away for the winter during Thanksgiving weekend, but I still need a car cover. I will be storing the car outside.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good cover?

I have been looking at a few fitted ones from JC Whitney that are supposed to be good out in the weather. Should I put something under a rough outdoor cover to protect the paint?

I have an all purpose car cover that I used on my old firebird. Its like 3 layers or something to prevent water and dust etc..Its not a special fitted cover but it fit my firebird well. Didnt scratch it or anything, i used it on my car for one winter when it was stored in our barn, my new car came with tom henry fitted cover. 30 bucks plus shipping and you can have it, I really dont remember what I paid for it but its BARELY used.

I bought one of these for the SE: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...QQcmdZViewItem

not fitted - but very impressive protection for the money

though i wouldnt want to - i could see putting a vehicle outside with one of these

I'd avoid JC Whitney like the effin' plague.

The wife bought me one from them for Christmas two years ago...not a cheap one either...ordered it in September.

By January it still hadn't showed...order cancelled.

After some research, we ended up going with a Calfornia Car Cover.

Fitted...multiple applications...multiple colors.

The 81 stuffed away for the winter...

i just went to the local auto parts store for mine but mine is inside. I would try redfbird99's. can always trust him

I paid $200 for mine from the dealership. Stormshield covers are well worth the investment. Just make sure to get a cover designed for all weather that will breath. The thicker the better and maybe one with a soft inside lining.

Nah not too bad. The one I got was definitely worth the price and I would definitely do it again. There really is more to it than just the being weather proof and breathable. My cover also is 3 layers thick which makes it much stronger and has a softer interior than than those you would find in the lesser price range. Keep in mind this cover was OEM from GM and custom fitted to my car.




Here is the same cover for a Corvette...

Cant remember where I bought mine, but its a fitted cover by wolf, fits like a glove, 3 layers thick and super soft on the inside. Very nice cover, they make several different ones, 1, 2, 3, and 4 layer ones too. There $80+ though, I think I paid around a hundred for mine, and its made from the "block it 380" fabric. Well spent IMO.

Edit: Found it! Prices seem to have gone up though, but you could always check somewhere else once you get the model number from the site.

No Problem I wouldn't have bought it from under him anyway. I hate it when people do that. Thats why I said if hes not interested, I would be. :thumbups:

As my car sits now, it bought the wolf block-it 380 i think. Was like 160 shipped but fits great.
