I have the indoor one, but not the outdoor one. I think those are grey. His looked like the indoors one.

I have a Covercraft Noah since I only have a car port (well, and a garage full of my landlord's crap that he's yet to remove) and it snows where I'm at.

Yes on the NOAH. I have been using them for years and they not only fit great but they hold up well.

They are available in different colors and level of protection.

i have the quick silver for my Z.

while i have no issue with the quick silver one, for those covers with the clear vinyl opening for the rear plate be very careful dat the clear plastic do not touch your paint while parked for long duration.. it is known to cause paint damage.

i place a rolled up MF towel on the plate recess area to keep the vinyl from making any contact with the paint.. just in case.

Are all of these indoor covers? I was also looking for a cover for my Z cause mine unfortunately sits outside. I had bought a cheap 50 dollar cover for my old 350 that I've been using but it doesn't even keep the dirt out, or even worse, the pollen .

Another vote for Covercraft. Go to their website and study the different styles. They have different purposes depending on where you park and what you want to protect the car from. They are not cheap but are very good quality and have a good warranty. My Z is covered daily in the parking lot where I work and my goal was sun and dust protection. My only beef is that the seams started to come apart about three years into the four year warranty. They replaced the cover at no charge, and three years later the seams started to come apart again. I suggested to Covercraft to have their engineers check with their fabric vendors and specify a tougher thread for the seams, even if they had to increase the cost slightly. They politely ignored me. When this new cover comes apart I'll find an upholstery shop and have them run all the seams through an industrial sewing machine. The cover material still had a few years left in it but the thread for the seams rotted out.

I have the same cover. It's only for inside but the fit is fantastic. Covers right down to about 3 inches off the ground. Shows the sidewall and a bit of the wheel.

I highly recommend CoverCraft. They make a whole pile of different of covers for inside and outside use.
I recall I got mine here.

http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/

Got a nice discount off the retail price. It was well under $200 shipped.
