Default Car covers

Looking for a quality car cover. I've used the one's from PepBoys in the past and they rip easily so they've been replaced 2-3 times. I've been looking at the SLP one, but wasn't able to find any reviews or feedback about it. Does anyone have the SLP cover or another cover that they would recommend?

The SLP cover is indoors only I think. I have a NOAH and it works well.

Depends on what you need - light indoor use, exposed to the elements outdoors, etc. I purchased a custom one from carcoverplanet.com a few years back and like it a lot.

It will be outside exposed to the elements. Thanks, I'll look into the ones you guys mentioned.

I have an SLP one for my SS and definitely not for outside use. I used it when I went to the beach and the salt air got on it and ended up all over my car. I was constantly washing it.
