Indoor or outdoor?

I really like the Covercraft Dustop series for indoor storage. I don't have much experiance with outdoor covers though.

My WS6 will be under a wing off our shed, on a concrete slab but under there it is almost completley protected from the elements, but I am more concerned with cats and other things getting at my car

Go with the SLP car cover. I bought mine for my 02 Z and that cover is incredible. It slip fits our cars and has the pockets for our mirrors and comes with a lanyard cord so you can lock it so it can't be stolen (in theory). I got mine from afterthoughts auto and I love it. The SLP cover is on sale right now on their website so you will get a real good price. Here's the link http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/carco19cawpe.html. Good Luck!

I bought a car cover from oreillys for like 30 bucks to store in a garage and its been working pretty dandy and it fits the car rather nicely as well. I was pretty surprised for how much i paid for it.

Coverking Stormshield! ~$300 or so

You can get it in a solid or two-tone color


Lets just say that my storage setup is the same as yours and the cover protected my car perfectly during Hurricane Katrina while I was away on vacation. Now that is a testimonial!!

I got a cheaper cover as well for Christmas and am a little worried about using it. I heard cheaper covers can scratch your car pretty good.

Maybe with dust and dirt getting under the cover since its not a custom fit + wind aggravating the dirt into the finish. But in a garage it will be fine, heck mine is. Im the type of guy who will have his whole bumpter repainted for a simple scratch, in the OP's case since its not 100% inclosed I would buy a more expensive car cover.

Take note how ever, I had the SLP car cover and it said DO NOT place the cover on the car if the vehicle is dirty because it will scratch it.

Most people consider that common sense.

Oh really? I did'nt think that by putting a car cover on a dirty car would scratch it.

Obviously I know what would cause a car cover to scratch it retard, I was just stating what the SLP instruction's mention, perhaps to enlighten someone who may not be familiar with a car cover.

I think we all keep our cars clean enough that SLP's cover isn't going to scratch the paint.......If you don't keep it clean why would you want a cover anyway.

Watch who you're calling a retard tough guy. You didn't even know how to properly use a car cover. Yet you call me the retard?
