Default Nismo car cover??

Hey everyone.. been a long time since I have frequented the forum..(been back the last few days)..

I was wondering if someone here could recommend a good all weather car cover for the Nismo.. Fitted would be nice but not critical at this point, just
looking at the options.

Thanks
Rich

CoverCraft makes some really nice covers that are fitted for the nismo,
I picked one up from another member on here and it fits very nicely.

Picked up one at Costco. Does the trick pretty well and at $40, I can't complain. It doesn't go underneath the exhaust I'm afraid. I can get it underneath the front diffuser but the exhaust stick out. It's not that bad though.

Thanks guys.. I will check these out. And the stock antenna is not a problem? ***got it covers with an antenna pocket.****
But I remember long ago some recommend changing the stock antenna out
for another??

changing over to a shorter antenna shouldn't be a problem, the antenna pocket will be over sized but that can be fixed.

I got one for my nismo from:

http://www.carcoverusa.com/Wolf-Car-Covers.html

Fits perfect has held up great the past 6 months. I don't have any pictures, but I'll snap some in the coming days and post it up.

I went with the Noah, was also considering the sunbrella and weathersheildhp. I don't know where you live, so you'd have to compare each cover and decide which best suits your needs/weather conditions. GL

You can't go wrong with CoverCraft! They sell several different ranges in quality. I have a Block-It 180 and I am impressed by the quality. I should have purchased one years ago..

Thanks I will look in to it. I wonder if the dealer still has them. I have about
two weeks til the Eagle lands at my door step so I have sometime to prepare.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions/posts and thoughts.

My buddy, who's garage I store my car at, gave me his cover from his old (95-00) Camaro and it fits perfectly. Around the front splitter and over the spoiler. And why do you need a hole for the antenna? just unscrew it and put it in the car.

See that .. you learn something new everyday. I did not know that was an option . Hence the ease of being able to change it out for a smaller one?? See I won't get the car for about two weeks and tis my first 350z..

Thank you..I appreciate the info.

IMHO go with the oem nismo car cover.....for indoor only, the satin gray or black is superior!
For indoor-outdoor, Silverguard is the one.....well worth the money!
