Default car cover question

question guys i live in new york and the snow is about to start. I have another car i can use for the winter but no garage for the z. Should i put a car cover on and if so which car cover and where can i buy it from? I have heard that covers in snow and freezing temps sometimes freeze to the car? Any advice would be appreciated.

same cover...

less price...

this cover is very water resistant... if it is totally soaked, it will have some wettness to it... But the material does not absorb water...


Stillen also makes a car cover, but its more fabric like, it will absorb water when exposed for a while, but also grab onto little tiny rocks / dirt to scratch your car...

does the OE cover leave enough room for your body kit?
