Ive got a Wolf car cover and have been very happy with it. Excellent fitment and if you look around you can find a great price too.

The OEM car cover is awesome. Fits like a glove and even has a 'Nissan Z' logo on the hood area =) I have a 'almost brand new' one for sale if you want it (used only twice). I park in a carpeted garage so I have no use for it.

I bought the Genuine Nissan cover from Courtesy. It has all the features that you would expect for $200:

Window for license plate
Antenna pouch
Grommets for tie-down
Insulation to protect from exhaust burn













The cover is on the Z about 16 hours/day: wind, rain and snow. Its water repellent, not waterproof. A light rain and the car is dry. During a heavy downpour, the car will get wet. For care, I wash it in a front loading commercial machine, then dry it on the car. Then spray the top with Scotch Guard. I can take it on or off in about 3 minutes. A week after washing the Z (and using the cover), the Z is clean except for the front wheels. Definitely recommended.

Try California Car Cover Company (Google for their site). They have custom-fit covers for Zs in various materials.

Covercraft makes great covers. I'm ordering their Weather Gaurd version in the near future, it protects your ride from rain, sun, tree sap and all that other nasty stuff. They have lots of diiferent versions to suit your needs.

+1...have the Noah and Weathershield HD. Both work very well at protecting the car against the elements/
