Looking for a car cover to store the car for the winter. Who has one, wheres it from and do you think the GT-4 wing would fit under it? Feel free to post pics if you have them

There are many from cheap to real expensive. Depending on the climate, indoor or outdoor use, etc. there is a right cover material for every situation. You need to do some research. Do a Google search and read manufacturers' sites about different materials and applications.

I recently bought one on eBay, made by Wolf. One of the better brands. Mine is a good outdoor material and cost me around $150. It will fit a regular wing, but not one of those Superbird lookalikes.

Edit: just looked at your car pictures in your profile. No my cover would not fit your wing, but others might. Also, none come with a hole for your antenna. You have to cut the hole and you then get water in there. That's why I kept the stock retractable antenna.

Yes they fit. It comes in different sizes. I bought one from Checkers. I think the higher the number the smaller fit for vehicle. I bought one with the size 4 IIRC. It will fit over the gt-four wing.

True. The cheaper covers, like under $100, are universal fit and not shaped specifically for a Celica. Therefore they are a sloppy/loose fit on any car and have more room for wings and such.
