Default Custom car cover?

Are there any car covers for our 2IS? I was wondering because my bike got stolen this morning, and I'm taking all precautions with my car. Thanks!

there are many sellers of car covers. i decided to go with empire covers. they have great customer service, quick response time to questions, and the material does not appear to create swirls on the car itself. that was a big part for me because obsidian is horrible in showing swirls.

Default Best Car Cover?

I have an '09 is250. Anyone have a suggestions on a good car cover? By good I mean the ratio of price:quality is good. I've seen some really expensive car covers out there but I'm looking to spend max $60.

You're not going to get a good car cover for $60. I bought one of the more expensive alternatives years back. It's too much hassle and ended up just sitting in my trunk. I would suggest "no cover".

For $60 cover, check eBay... The ones at the stealer goes for around $300.

Tagged for interest.

I don't have a garage space for the car. What would be a good car cover? Something under $300 hopefully, but willing to spend around $200.

Thanks.

if your willing to spend around 200 buck, get the dealership car cover. only use the cover when your car is clean

what would be a good alternative to the dealer cover? Is there anything that is about comparable but would help me save a little (like $50 and get one for about $150ish)

Thanks.

yeah you only want to use it when your car is clean. because when you put on the cover on a dirty car. it'll act like sandpaper on your paint from the trapped grit.
