Sure, Coverking has great stuff, but does one need to spend nearly four bills to get a decent indoor cover? Any fabric will do, just looking to keep the dust off for a few months.

A penny for your thoughts.

Not sure where you're looking on Coverking, but a non-custom indoor cover can be had for $50.

Ah, thanks - that's more like it. I was looking at their custom lycra covers.

If the car stays indoors and all you're looking to do is keep the dust at bay, how about just sewing together a couple of old king-size cotton sheets and keeping them in place at the bottom with some bungee cords running underneath the chassis? You can probably find the sheets at your local Goodwill thrift shop....

I use a nylon/poly sheer cover, sorry i checked the tag but there was no name on it and I've had it awhile. Even has a zippered door access if you want to get in, i did a quick search but didn't see one online i'm sure they are still out there, extremely lightweight only for indoor use, it has a small 'bag' attatched and you roll it up for storage size it is about the size of a laptop stored.

Default got one

Found an El Cheapo cover for 35 bucks at pep boys. They say it's good for outdoors but I wouldn't trust ithe outside in the sun. Should work OK for dust inside the garage. Not sure I need the car bubble yet but thanks for the idea - that would be good for ding prevention.

pep boys for $35, get the(for cars up to 16 ft) box, fits your car perfectly !

I have mine on for outdoors, it works great ! If you want it to work better, spray water repellent on the cover for shoes at walmart or shoe stores, that will make it the same as a very expensive cover.
