    Recomendations for indoor car cover.

    Shopping for a indoor only cover. Car will have been freshly painted and I want a cover for long and short term storage in a regularly used garage.
    Thoughts?
    Suggestions?

    Thanks
    Mark..

    Just got one for one of my 914's and fits like a glove. Best for the money mine was $74.00 shipped.

    Does it come with sideview mirror incorporated or is it generic?

    As long as your model car comes with sideview mirrors there will be pockets, but you can call to verify. My 914 one came with mirror pockets.

    Nice heavy weight that protects the car from minor bumps, super soft and nice to the paint & a great custom fit with one mirror pocket.

    Be prepared for the fact that you won't use the car as much if you have to face the thought of removing and replacing a cover for every drive. If you really need a cover due to dirt being tossed up in the garage, several bed sheets sewn together end to end for the appropriate length will do just fine at a minimal cost.

    I have one of those but sometimes I wonder whether they are the best given the snugness and possibility for abrasion.

    They look awesome on though!

    I agree a crap cover can do damage - but if the car is clean before it is put on and there is no wind/breeze to flap it about, not a problem. Arguably a tight fit is better?
