Default OEM Car Cover on INGS LX body kit?

Will the OEM car cover fit on a Z with the INGS LX body kit? The front lip isn't THAT aggressive, and neither are the sides. The rear does drop down a bit more than the stock rear bumper. The biggest issue is probably the trunk spoiler.

Anybody know if this would work? If not, can I still buy it and get it modified somehow? Here's what the kit/spoiler looks like:








Thanks!

The OEM car cover fits pretty tightly with a little extra space. My suggestion would be to find someone in your area that has one, and ask to try it on your car. I don't think the parts dept. at the dealership would take it back once you've used it. The ideal thing to do is to get a custom made car cover. It may cost you a little more, but you get one that fits perfectly.

Yeah, as soon as I posted, I thought I could ask somebody local to let me see the fit on my car. However, I only have the spoiler on right now, so it's not going to be of much help right now, but I think I'll check on that once I get my kit on.

The thing with custom cover is they don't seem to fit as well as some of the OEM ones, but I'll also look into that as well...


Anybody else? (thanks BTW for your input, Aloha350z!)

Too bad you're not in Hawaii. Otherwise I would have let you try on my OEM car cover. Good luck!

+1. The OEM cover is snug. A 10 MPH wind and the cover stays on the car. I see a potential problem with the rear. With the kit, the rear is both taller and longer.

Yeah I think there will definately be an issue, particularly the rear spoiler. Hmmm...I really need to find something soon since my car's been sitting outside during the day

If you're as nice as you sound, you would send it over this way for me to try out on my car, and pay shipping both ways!

j/k. But I'll have to find someone local. Shouldn't be a problem, but I'm going to have to wait until I have the kit on.
