Default Car cover

Got this cover a few weeks back and after washing the car I thought I should try it on today.
Very happy with fit and quality. It's microfiber on the inside and breathable fabric.













Sorry for the rather poor pics, but I think you get an idea of how it looks.

It will be very good for the winter storage

Thanks for posting the link to the place of purchase. Sexy cover if I may say so.

Really nice cover! I love the fit and finish. I just ordered my coverking cover last week. I will post a review as soon as I get it as well. I'm in the same boat as you, when I wash my car I want it to stay clean in my garage. I have a 2 car garage which my wife is always flying in and out of so dust is always flying around. With your setup your car will stay nice and clean I'm sure

Good morning Joe, everyone.

(I actually tried posting a frontal picture as well but for some reason, when I post off of my I-pad, pictures aren't always displayed right side up. Will post another photo later this morning when I get to another computer).

It's a CoverKing Satin Stretch and its wonderful. Excellent quality and excellent fit. It's strictly for indoor use and I purchased it directly through their company - through their marketing director, who is no longer there - but another Forum member, when this subject came up before, stated he saw this cover on some website at a discounted price. A quick search here should be able to locate it.

Good luck and let me know.

Jay

Hi Jay, I saw your cover and REALLY liked the look. But I went cheap and ordered the Coverking Moda cover which is only $100.

I am going to do a writeup for anyone that wants a great deal on a custom cover. Not sure of quality yet but I dont think too much can go wrong for $100. If you go on the Coverking website this cover is $212: Coverking Silverguard Custom-Fit Vehicle Cover

But if you go through the Walmart website its $99: MODA by Coverking Custom-Fit Car Cover, Made To Order (Email Delivery) - Walmart.com

Its the same cover.

I will post up once I have it.

Sorry for the delay - been having computer issues all morning! - and see additional photo I added above. Naturally saving a few $'s here and there is usually welcome. but after doing a little research, I thought that the CoverKing Satin Stretch fit the bill...eh, car...best. Plus I got a pretty good price directly from the company.

(I also threw in a photo I took this morning, since I've been "sprucing" up my garage since I took that "CoverKing" photo. Note the stereo - my friend had a nice bunch of stuff; not the best quality, for my audio tastes, but it certainly sounds pretty damn good. For a garage).

Wish I had that much space in ny garage! But on the other hand, I am glad I have a private garage, as that is kind of a "privilage" in the central city area where I live.

It looks to be a very nice cover as well with good fitment.

To use a cover inside a garage is good when you want to keep a clean car clean (from dust and other things "flying arround". But remember to never use the cover when the car is not really clean

Quite right about not putting a clean cover on a dirty car Arne! Any - or should I say most - garage is better than no garage. I'm not about to make mine (GOD do I hate the phrase) a "man cave" but I'm certainly happy hanging around in there...particularly if my F-Type is parked inside (it better be since if it's not I'm not!).

Looks mean even with the cover on it Arne!

I'm too embarrassed to show a picture of my Jaguar optional cover ;-)
