Default Car cover

Looking for a good car cover for my 07 460L. OEM would be great but if there is an aftermarket one that's just as good I'd take it. Is $250 normal? Thanks

I don't think any after market cover will come close to fitting as nicely as the OEM. At least that was my experience with covering my SC400 for years. If you plan to use the cover frequently, I don't think $250 is a bad investment in protecting an $80,000 car. Just my opinion.

Back in 2008 when I was doing research on car covers for a GS350, I found CoverCraft to be the best and I paid about $400 for a nice outdoor car cover. Since I didn't have a garage. There are different levels of car covers based on what kind of use you want it for. Mine was for long term outdoor use. So it was pricey.

That price is normal. I have a Covercraft, Noah model, and it's fine. These are custom fit to the year, model, trim. For our ls460, I noted their part# for the SWB is diff from the LWB
The Lexus OEM may be a Covercraft. BMW used Covercraft also

On my previous car, 07 GS350, I bought an after market cover but I ended up not using it less than a month after I purchased it. 1) The cover didn't fit my car perfect, so I had to waste even more time to cover it up the best I could 2) I bet you won't be using after some time (but everyone is different)

If you really want one then I would suggest you to get one from Lexus for perfect fit.
