Curious to see who uses car covers (what brands) and if anyone has gotten a custom one done.
This would be for outdoor use This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Jun 4, 2013 - 9:21 AM --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

For storage? I store indoor in the winter and I just park atop a giant tarp and wrap it up like a big present for spring.

i think he means the kind that spreads right over top the car.
I dont remember the brand i bought but it was like $60 generic at auto-zone and a "medium" size. It was wayyy to big. It says fits the celica, but i should have gone with the small. And the strap downs on it would have never held down outside. I had to make a slit by each wheel, and zip tie to the rim. After that it worked well. Completely water proof, and protected. If your going for like a daily on and off cover i wouldnt spring for a generic one. I would like to know if the custom one works better though This post has been edited by mgnt232: Jun 4, 2013 - 9:40 AM -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.

ive looked at a few places through a google search and the going rate for a custom cover can range from 200-500. Hoped to see if anyone had gone with a custom one before and how well it fit
http://www.the-cover-store.com/SearchByCat...oryCode=vehicle http://www.calcarcover.com/ I have a $10 "one size fits all" type of cover for when its in the garage, but when I move it down to MD with me I am going to need something alot more durable since it wont be under cover This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Jun 4, 2013 - 2:57 PM -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Bought a nopi cover years ago and it worked very well for me. Covered the celica for years outside and kept the sun off it and paint looking great. |

Buy a Bentlay car cover for your ride from the Bentley Car Accessories store.. Online no shipping price and also has a great quality I used this brand 3 years...my personal experience is very fine with this brand.. Some guys here have other good brand for the car cover..
