Car cover suggestion
I am looking for a cover for my GX470. The primary use is to protect the SUV from the elements during summer season and keep the truck clean. GX470 is basically a winter vehicle. The OEM Lexus cover is around $300, but are there any other alternatives? I want the custom fitted cover and not a generic one. I saw cover made by "Wolf", are they any good? Any suggestion will be greatly appreicated.

I dont have the wolf or any of the custom brand as $250-300 was too expensive for my purpose (keeping away dust in nyc inside parking garages) The generic cover bought at autozone for mid-large size suv $79, works just fine, and fits the gx470 very well. The side mirrors are always in closed position when parked, so i dont need that exact fit. The cover provides uv, dust, and rain protection. If there is something that's a pain in the neck is putting the cover over the gx (due to tall size), especially after cleaning/waxing. Im not sure if the custom would make this process easier, but that would be my only beef with the generics

Insure you address any antenna locations you may need a hole for. And consider locking cable grommets preinstalled.
