Default BEST car cover for FBodys?

What is the best kind of car cover that money can buy to keep all of the elements off my Formula? And where can I find one?

I can't compare my cover to any others so I probably won't be a good source. But I have the stormweave from California car covers. When it rains, the cover dries quickly. When it snows on it, the snow is easy to completely brush off and the cover remains dry. After a year, my wax didn't wear off a bit since the day I covered it 5 months earlier.

That's after one season of use. This is merely food for thought.

I got this Wolf. It works great. When you order it, you specify not only what car it is for, but also if you have the factory body kit. It was windy when I took these pics (the day before huricane Katrina) but you get the idea.

I forgot where I bought it, but use a search engine and type in the type you want.....some places have really good deals where you can save a few bucks.....When I bought mine it was the cheapest place but when it was on sale somewhere else they adjusted the price for me....

I am extremely happy with mine and I better be for paying nearly $340 for mine. That was with almost every option black/red two tone and the firebird embroidery.

theres a company that makes them with teflon so that water just runs right off of it and wont actually penetrate the cover. snow also does not penetrate. ill find the link and post it up.

I think your talking about the cover from http://www.carmotorsports.com/car_covers.htm I have this cover and absolutely love it. It fits awsome and is very compact when storing it. I payed like $200 for it and it was worth every penny.

I don't know of the good covers just for indoor but I would go with the Car Motorsports cover just because if you have to leave the car out over night if you go to a gathering or something, you'll have a good cover.

what is your price range? they vary from $150 to $400

I would go with the plushweave if you want to stay on the less expensive side, or the superweave and supremeweave on the expensive side....oh yeah the storage bag is a MUST

Or you could just get a car bubble, those seem cool as hell

i bought a wolf cover from summit several years ago. i either got the wrong one, or it shrunk, because it's always been too short in the front and back. plus, it's starting to tear. i won't buy this one again.
