Question CAR COVERS - bodykit

Anyone have a car cover for their z with a bodykit? I have an amuse bodykit and wanted to use a car cover but Im pretty sure I cant use the stock bodied z car covers. Anyone have a suggestion as to a company that makes custom covers or what kind of cover that would cover my z with this bodykit?

I've been using the cover designed for the OEM Nismo from the Z store and other than a little extra material over my wing it fits perfectly.

Covers that I have used for the 350Z have plenty of room for body modifications. The cover may be a tight fit but still it will fit.

NOTE: Cover fit and alignment relies primary on the side view mirrors and mirror pouches. If the mirrors fit, the rest of the cover will also.

well I havent tried any covers but dont want to buy a cover just to have it not fit. I think the nismo cover could work. i dont have a spoiler so maybe it could help. I have my car garage kept so I was just looking for something to keep dust off basically

Since I have a Nismo V2 bumper which is slightly longer than the OEM my OEM cover would not fit at all over the bumper, literally half of the bumper was exposed

What aftermarket bodykit do you have? The Nismo cover from the Z store might be overkill if you don't have a wing or longer bumper.

I have amuse (front, sides and rear without a spoiler)
I have it garaged but after waxing it I hate the dust build up and rather have it covered. I think the nismo cover might drape over but since its indoors it might be ok. Maybe get a giant sheet of car cover material and lay it over the car?

The Nismo version cover would be overkill for your setup, just get this one:

http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z03o2/50-9003

There are two materials available but the one that I posted above is really for indoor use (Poly Cotton version), I have the Technalon version and it works really well in the morning mist and light rain, but it would be overkill for your garage queen
