Default Car cover for my Nismo

Have any of you Nismo owners have purchased a car cover for your Nismo?
I don't have a garage and would like to get a good cover for my car. Any info on where to get one would be appreciated.

Car cover on the cheap, check out Costco (~$30 I believe). Custom Nismo cover, do a search here, its come up before, somewhere around $200+ if memory serves. Really cheap, swipe a parachute ;-) (see OP handle)

Thanks for the link Shaun I sent Jessica an email. NismoZ parachutes are not good car covers.

i wouldn't use car covers, especially not on black paint..

they will scratch the f*ck out of your clear coat if you're not careful.

If you buy the correct cover, keep your car waxed and are careful when putting it on and taking it off, you shouldn't scratch the paint. This is one of those purchases where if you go cheap, it will end up costing you alot later. Best advice is to spend the money upfront and save yourself the aggravation of possible future complications

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
