California Car Cover company. I have the plushweave and have for about 3 years now. Nice soft cover and fits great. I keep the car in the garage so it doesn't see any harsh weather on the cover. The Stormweave's they make are good outdoor covers.

I have the Stormweave. Mine is used in the garage, but bought that one just in case it was outside. I have had it a year with no problems.

Came with the car, SLP with the firehawk on the front. It serves the purpose. I have a carport which keeps the leaves and small stuff off, but I only use it if it snows or rains. I do not cover if the car has dust on it from driving to work, plus you have to make sure that the dam cover doesnt have dust all in it. Store it inside the trunk or house. When mine wears out, I wont buy this exact one again, if I even buy one again. If I didnt have the carport I would buy another cover.

Sorry..the SLP cover looks more like a garbage bag than a real car cover. It's just a cheap poly material isn't it?

I have a Noah car cover by Covercraft and it works GREAT. Sadly my Hawk has to live outdoors.... This is the best cover from what I've read for cars that are going to be outdoors. Rain & Snow alike this cover keeps it out but also breathes. Very pleased with it!!

I like in a hot, dry and sometimes windy climate. Not really a whole lot of moisture. I use Noah car covers from California Car Cover for all mine. The work really well and they fit like a glove (especially on the '02).
