Car cover

miguez · 04-25-2009, 08:08 AM

Anyone have any recommendations? My car will be mainly a weekend toy, so I'd like to keep it protected during the week while it sits in the garage.

Isn't that enough?

Negative, dust accumulates in my garage, probably from the in and out of the other cars.

Griot's Garage sells excellent car covers. You can shop around the net and find the brands cheaper, but this is good starting point.

Jesus I thought my $100 motorcycle cover was expensive!

California Car Cover WeatherShield HP $338.00 worth it.

That is a fascinating idea! I don't have room for it, but really cool, thanks!

Thanks for the tips guys. I found this website, Car Cover USA, and am going with the Evolution, by Covercraft. It's an indoor, 4-layer, breathable, ready-fit cover, and they already have one for the 370Z. It has mirror pockets, and they even have different covers between the Basic and Touring, and Sports package (taking into account the spoiler), so it should fit well.

At Car Cover USA it is sold for $169.99, and you can chose between blue, gray, or tan exterior color. It has a 4-year warranty. you can get it shipped ground for $10.

I'll report on the quality of it when I receive it. Thanks everyone for the help.

Is the Evolution made for outdoor use also? Also, do you have a part number as I went searching and only came up with a 350z.

Hey theDreamer,

I do believe the Evolution is also used outdoors, since they mention acid rain and bird poop as problems this cover can face, but I was only looking for an indoors cover, so I don't really have any details or certainty that this is a good outdoors cover.

To find the 370Z cover, go to the Car Cover USA website (link in my previous post), scroll down, hit the big red button that says "Click here to shop", then select the first option, "Custom fit car covers", then scroll down to the Evolution and select that, select your favorite color. This will take you to a page where you can select the year and make of your car, but no model yet. Click Next. This is now the page where you can select the 370Z. Hit Next. Select what version (Basic, Touring, Sport package or not), and hit Next. You'll have to once again select your color, and it will now take you to the checkout!

A little convoluted, but it works.

You can get a the original Z cover off eBay about 100 bucks bought one little over a year ago for my 04 350z. Now using it for my 370z works well although it has the antenna cover which you don't need. They last 4 to 5 years and have tie down holes to keep in place great if you don't have a garage.
