Custom 2008 STI car cover?

WRXGuyInUSA · 07-15-2008, 08:32 AM

Anybody know where I can get a GOOD QUALITY car cover, that is designed for our cars? I hate the generic ones, and some of them are known to scratch. Where I work there's ALWAYS a nice fine film when I get off, so I really want to start covering it when I'm at work.

If there's an '08 cover that you guys know of... I'd greatly appreciate it!

Try Car Covers - Griot's Garage

Not all the covers are available yet for the '08, so you'll have to look around the site. Here's one that is.

Wow... almost $400!

The OEM cover is like $80, but I don't think they have one for the '08...

I have NOAH covers for all my cars (but of course that doesn't include an '08 STi). A couple of the covers were purchased through Griot's and a couple were purchased through California Car Covers.

They've been used exclusively for indoor storage and have held up extremely well. My oldest cover was passed along to a buddy of mine. It's probably 15 years old and looks new.

If you can find a cover for your need from either of the two companies above, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to you.

When the car is cleaned, I use a car duster 2x per day. Once in the morning, and another time when I'm headed home from work. Less fuss than a cover and I don't think I would use it as much just because of the hassle.

Well, that and the sunlight...

Are you worried about the sunlight fading your paint? Is that a problem on WRB for Subbies?

Yeah, that's much better! I can do $200 if it's decent quality!

Thanks

No, more just keeping the car cooler in the hot sun... interior, etc.
