Default Best bang for buck car cover

I need an outdoor car cover for an LT1 Formula with a TA wing. What is everyone running? Not looking for something super nice Just something that works well for the money. Embroidered would be nice.

I got a size 3 at Autozone and it's a tight fit on my camaro. Like perfectly form fitting tight on my camaro. So for a trans am I'd say size 4. Not sure how high quality you want to go but I just wanted something to put on my car in the garage while I'm working so it doesn't get covered in dust and stuff.

I got my cover from Covercraft. Fits nice and snug with good elastic. Two thumbs up.

Make sure you get a form fitted cover with mirror pockets so it won't blow off the car. I have Covercraft Noah and it fits good.

Don't order form carcoverworld.com whatever you do. I bought two car covers from them and paid a good amount of money. When I received them they were cheap $20 car covers from wal-mart. Ended up purchasing two car covers from California Car Cover and I could not have been happier. I paid good money for them but I couldn't be happier.

Covercraft. Cheap, fits like a glove, snug, does what it's intended to do.

I thought about getting something to.out on the bird when it's in the garage to keep the dust off. I have one but an outdoor cover, I'd like something a lot thinner

I bought mine from car auto covers.com, has worked well so far. It's water proof which is what I needed cause I have a leak and it's kept interior dry so far. Only thing I don't like is u have to make the hole for the antenna yourself. It has straps in the front and back that fasten underneath the car that keeps it on tight. Also reinforced holes in the middle to tighten it underneath in the center
