I have a 2005 ZR that's always parked outside. What car covers do you guys recommend? Thing gets dusty real quick and there's always crap falling on it from the trees.

 

Don't think a car cover is going to protect it all the time especially if you put it on a dirty car. Almost like having sand paper on your entire car.

 

costco cover, $35

 

I posted several critiques for the Nissan and Wolf covers with photos. Search is your friend.

 

It's a weekend car, so it would protect it for the week at least after a cleaning.

And I tried the search function. Wouldn't waste everyone's time if I hadn't.

Put "car cover" in quotes and try again - worked for me.

 

I just bought the OEM Nissan cover, but I dont like the fabric.
Too thin and nylon-like, but it was the only one I could find with a license plate window. The town I live in is a stickler for having the plate exposed.

Dont be suprised if you see it for sale here in the classifieds soon.

Cool. Thanks guys. I'll use the quotes thing from now on when searching.

 

Just a word of advice - of you leave your car outside, the OEM Nissan cover isnt really designed for this. I was putting it on on Sunday, and the instructions clearly state that the cover is not designed to replace a garage and will not offer protection against the elements.
When I came home from work yesterday (it was raining and gusting pretty badly here in NJ), I had to remove the cover for fear that it would damage the paint - even with it tied down and a cable lock installed.

This cover does not fit very well, and leaves alot of room for wind to gust up under the cover. Plus like I had stated a few posts up, it is fairly flimsy. I would not recommend the Nissan cover for outdoor use at all. As a dust cover inside a garage it would be acceptable, but for oudoors it sux.

I'll be looking at something better suited to the elements.
