Question Car Cover?

I am currently looking for a car cover and was about to purchase the OEM one but found out that it would not fit the NISMO 350z.
True or False?

What do I do?
Do I have to buy a customized car cover??
Thanks for the help!

Sam

It fits but the front lip sticks out and the rear bottom 1 ft shows, and very tight fit.

Covercraft will mod an existing 350z pattern if you fill out a custom dimension sheet and produce a fitted cover for you. Problem is I don't want to be the guinea pig especially if it doesn't fit right. I wonder if we get 10 or so orders if they would allow us to get one of us to have a cover made as a test then sell the custom cover to all the Nismo owners here?

We are working with Calif. Car Covers and should have a tested pattern soon. See thread below.

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.

I bought the above from Advance Auto Parts. It's 100% waterproof, fits the Nismo just fine and fully covers the front lip and spoiler and rear air diffuser, it's only $75, and it comes with a LIFETIME replacement warranty.

I bought my ULTRASHIELD 5 layer waterproof NISMO Z car cover from them. Also got 10% discount when I purchased it. http://www.carscover.com/2008-Nissan...-SP5447NB.html

It fits very well and will cover everything from top to bottom. Here are some pics I have taken.

I received my empire cover last week, very happy with the fit.
