sexay sexay! You even cover your wheels. I feel ashamed now! LOL

I have mine from Californiacarcover but this one you posted looks SICK. I would like to know how well they hold up in weather conditions and not just the garage. But Sir, you have a BEAUTIFUL car cover and nice two tone.

Mine is All red satin look with "camaro ss" on the front. Cali puts their NAME on the front too though and the stock number. Kinda shitty that they advertise that way.

P.S. How much did this bad boy set you back?

Thanks. With the storage bag, it was $336 shipped. Its definitely not an outdoor cover, but all I was worried about was getting a soft, tight fit.

I used to have an SLP cover... it fit well, but slid all over the car when I would take it off and put it on and the seams and edges were kinda rough feeling.

No worries about any little scratching with this one!

Oh ok cool! Not an outsider eh? Wonder why they charge so much for an Indoor only cover?

Its not a big deal. What IS a big deal is YOU like it and YOU are comfortable paying that much for the indoor cover.

Rock on bro. Its really nice looking

Yeah, my car never sits outside anyway, so weather wasn't a concern for me. CoverKing does make a similar one called Stormshield that I think is very similar in finish though.

Looks great man! I got one from them a few months back ...How did you specify the lettering for it? I chose the Camaro script (lettering) and got this ... Wasn't too thrilled about it as I thought it would be the old school Camaro script style ... or something cool, not just block letters.. wasn't too thrilled on the yellow lettering either. JW basically said tough luck ... The cover itself is great.

Yep, Camaro script is the same thing I ordered. Is your embroidered on though? Mine is just screen-printed on.

Maybe re-read the thread for your answer.

Its actually just two stickers (one black, one red) ordered from the dealer that I put down & clear coated over. It's held up going on 6 years now.

I was originally going to paint them on, but this was an easy way out.

Very nice. I have had a cover from CCC for the last 6 years. It's nice but looking for the "tight" fit to help with the dust. Nice that it covers the tires also.
