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...

http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...roducts_id=220

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?
