Hi all
I have a month old black 350Z and no garage. Worse - my parking spot is right under a tree that oozes this really sticky crap !!.

I was looking at car covers - the ones from Nissan retail for almost $300. Do any of you have recommendations for places where I can get one cheaper ?. Of course, anyother tried and tested brands are welcome too !!.

I am worried that I will end up scratching the clear coat with a cheap cover.

Thanks

i have the nissan 350z coupe exact fit car cover basically the same one as u were speaking of and it works great... the water and rain run off it like magic and it is really a good investment if u have no garage but if u were like me and fixed it up then u wont have no use for the cover and it will be outside... so i have one now that i dont use ne more maybe gonna sell but yeah if ur gonna mod and put a kit or stuff on it then dont get the nissan one, not saying its bad but just cause it wont fit later on...

I got the Custom Dustop ($150) for indoor use, and it is awesome.
I bet the outdoor ones are just as good.

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.

Why would get a car cover if your car gets wet when it rains? Doesnt that defeat the whole purpose of the car cover?

to protected from sap, bird droppings, dust, UV rays, kids that may want to put finger prints all over your car

I've got the Wolf Evolution fabric cover. Bought it from some internet site for about $100+shipping.

Great cover. Excellent fit. Very good in the weather conditions - granted, SoCal doesn't exactly have horrible weather.

Only issue is that it doesn't have a pocket for the antenna so you have to either cut a hole in the cover or (do what I do and...) remove the antenna.

I'm not sure is anyone sells a waterproof cover, but there would be several disadvantages:

a. Hot as hell in the car on a sunny day

b. Condensation under the cover. In the morning when you remove the cover, the surface of the car would be wet. Now you have the hassle of a cover with the inside wet. How do you conveniently dry it?
