Default Car Cover

I have no idea where to post this but I had a question about a car cover. I tried searching but my question is does anybody here have a car cover that fits their car or do people just use a universal one. I would love to buy a custom cover because my car really only gets driven on the weekends and sits in the garage the rest of the time. Anybody have some ideas what kind (material and brand), and where to buy. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ike

I've got a Wolf Noah cover and love it. Custom fit for the car, fits great, really soft......was ~$150.

you can get a custom fit one from SLP, or a weather resistant one, Covercraft Weathershield HD, NOTHING gets through this cover! I would suggest just getting a custom fit one if it sits inside the garage for the majority..

Sorry to highjack 99'Formula but im in the same boat. The garage is a bit full so untill I get it cleaned out a bit I need to get my new rid covered.

I see some big price diffrences in many of the car covers mentioned above. Is it possiable to get a good cover for under $150

for under 150$? maybe a used one in great condition. i had one from walmart a year ago for under 100$ and it was tearable !! looking around on the CaliforniaCarCover site and doing some reading on their car cover products, i purchased the StormeWeave cover and it's been awesome! yes more then 150$ but for a one time purchase, i haven't looked back, only thing i wish i could go back and change is getting the custom stitching because water seeps through. other then that, it's out standing!!

I am also looking and sorry for the hijack. How soft is the cover where it touches the paint? Is it going to scratch?
