Default Car Cover help needed

Help! I need a car cover that will fit "snug" on the car. My f**king cat just left a small scratch on my hood. He's an indoor/outdoor cat. I went in my garage today to check on the Z and he was sitting on the hood looking at me. Bastard.

The reason I need a snug fit cover is because he likes to get UNDERNEATH car covers while on the car! He did it to my other car before. But they werent custom fit covers, just off the shelf ones at Walmart

Will the Covercraft made for the 350, fit snug enough so he cant pry his way under my cover? I would kill him but I love him too much

Here's a picture of mine, got it at the dealer for $200. Snug fit. I have two cats, so I know what you mean.

Default the OEM cover

How does that cover hold up against the elements? Im getting my car in a few weeks, winter is just around the corner, and i'm not sure if I can clean out the garage to fit the car in there on those snowy nights, I was wondering if that cover can with stand a good snow load/rain. Obviously id clean the snow off before it had a chance to melt, but in general are they rated to stand up against mother natures best?

Not sure, car hasn't been rained on, but then again, I don't drive it in the rain or snow. Sorry. It feels like a good cover, looks like it withold all of the elements. Go to the dealer and I am sure they have them in stock so you can compare.

IBSOH, Can you show me a pic of your enclosures. And how much did it run you to have them made?

I want 2 sets of focals up front but dont want to cut anything. I was thinking of an enclosure.

I bought a custom 350z cover from www.autoanything.com, comparing it to zand02max's pic of his I can tell you right off mine is thicker, it doesn't have the big Z on the front, it fits much tighter than the one in the picture above, and it even has the cover over the antenna just like his cover. It is a perfect fit.

This is the type I got http://www.autoanything.com/carcover...VZCCH&prID=168

Mine is tan and has top of the line breathability and top of the line protection against snow, moisture, UV rays, dust, and "PETS"

Check it out it cost me $199.95 plus shipping & handling

I have the covercraft cover... strictlyz did a group buy on them about a year ago.. the cover fits PERFECTLY.. and the material is top notch.. nothing like those nylon covers. Its almost like a waffle pattern on the outside and baby soft on the inside. The car is practically padded when its in the cover. I'd recommend it everytime.. and it seems the price on them has really come down compared to last year.

I have the OEM cover and it was great at first, but after 6 months, it's totally given up the ghost. I have washed it around 8 times, following the manufacturer's instructions to the letter, and it won't even repel morning dew now. It still works as a bird crap repeller and dust cover, but nothing more. I just keep it on and in the morning I go out and pull it off and towel the water off the car. Its a pain, but better than also cleaning off bird crap and pollen.

I'm going to check out the covercraft Flynnibus, thanks.

I have a Covercraft Dustoff cover (an indoor cover only) and it fits real snug. It's extremely soft, and I love it. Get a Covercraft for sure. Well worth the price.

Good luck
