Default Best Car Cover???

i think i have decided to love on campus this year and was wondering what car cover will be the best for me. i don't care what it cost...i will be in as low as 10* temps and snow, and lots of rain. so if anyone has a great company to buy a supreme cover from in mind, please let me know. i bought one from walmart about a year ago and it did not hold up well! any help would be great as i have to buy it soon! thanks

To the rescue!! Check out the link below for a great custom made car cover that fits the STi like a glove. I have one and I love it. It has elastic lined around the bottom to keep it nice and snug and also has a locking feature that will at least prevent someone from taking it off if they are walking by. I am pretty sure I had mine made out of the "storm weave."

hey man this stormweave looks really sick! do you know if that is the cheapest price or can you find it cheaper somewhere? also, how affective is it for rain. i mean if it poors, how wet does the car get and is the moisture able to escape? thanks a lot for your help!

I would be more worried about other cars on campus then the car being out in the elements. Car cover will attract thieves because its so easy to steal. My Cobra got broken into at schools and everything stolen out of it. I have no plans to take my STi when I start school next semester.

I don't think you need to worry about it. People will break into your car if they want to regardless of whether it is under a cover or is naked. I live in the city, and everytime I leave my car there is absolutely NOTHING in the passenger area. A super clean empty car interior is one of the best theft deterrents there is.
The car cover will repel any and all forms of moisture, and it also breathes very well. If it has been especially humid out or if rain has recently evaporated it can/ will leave a film on the car, but it's no big deal. The cover is a light color which keeps the car cool. I highly recommend this one if you need a car cover.

This was the first place I looked and I think someone recommended it to me on NASIOC. All I cared about was a top quality custom fit product, and this was it. You might be able to find one cheaper but I have no idea where.

I went with a covercraft evolution 4 cover. I believe it is the same thing as the storm weave. It is 4 layers thick, great indoor/outdoor cover. $189 off autogeek.net and use "autopia" as a discount code to get %10 off. I use it everyday...rain or shine.


FITS PERFECT even with my v-limited lip!

Kind Regards,
Ryan
