Techalon model.

The best for an outdoor cover, a custom fit for my Camaro was 190.00 shipped.

I got an Evolution 4 from autoanything.com $135 and they say it is the thickest cover out there. This website has about the best prices I have seen.

My particular worry would be any kind of scratches from the cover on the finish, but having a black car, it's always a PITA.

Here are some pics of mine. I bought it from Carmotorsports. It's a custom fit cover and with the embroidery I think it was about $180. It's breathable and I have a black car too and it hasn't left any marks at all. PM me if you need more info.

Any cover will scratch, it depends on how clean the car is when the cover is put on top.

That's true...I only use the cover if the car has been washed right before I put it on. Mine is mainly used to cover it during the winter when it's stored.
