Anyone bought a car cover for their NX?
My wife and I dont have a garage here in NC and talked about wanting to get a cover for when a storm comes in. What are your thoughts on any particular brand? Does lexus make one specifically for the NX? Getting ours this week hopefully if all goes well.

Obviously a little larger, but if you can't wait, I'd get the RX's as the overall shape is similar. Just 5 inches longer, 2 inches taller, and 2 inches wider.

Bumping up this thread. I'm just wondering if anyone has purchased a custom fit cover for the NX. I can't seem to find anything from the major car cover manufacturers.
Alternatively, I'm curious if the RAV4 custom fit car cover will fit. Based on this site: cars.axlegeeks.com, the NX is only 2.4" longer & 1" wider. It might be a snug fit but it might work.

Something to keep in mind here. Unless you're going to wash the car EVERYDAY when you get home, putting a car cover over it is a terrible idea. Every spec of dust on that car has now just become an abrasive element and will scratch the car.
So if you were hoping to use it daily, either washing time will be required everyday, or its a terrible idea.
Furthermore, if its outside, now you have allergens, seeds, and whatever else that will get on that cover and scratch the car as well.
So, either garage it, or I would recommend a good sealant for sun protection.
