Car covers

Would anyone have a suggestion on car covers for an Crossfire that has to sit out for awhile? This is in Southern Cal but it is going to rain soon.

~ i purchased mine from "autoanything.com"... they have great pricing.

link to all/different outdoor custom fit car covers: http://www.autoanything.com/car-covers/20A10004A1.aspx

custom fit at $176.95 (w/ free shipping). sounds like rain won't even seep through but breathable (see reviews). grey is the best exterior color imo.

this is the one i would go for:

Re: Car covers

Covercraft also makes some nice covers. they have different grades. I think they have a website. I bought mine for my PT Cruiser and it fits nicely on the Crossfire, it also has a locking cable. If you are out in the weather I'd get one that "breathes" otherwise the moisture will get trapped under it. Also never ever put a car cover on a dirty car, you might as well sandpaper it. Good luck!

Re: Car covers

I just bought one from here. I got the C16722GK in grey for $192.98 delivered.

So far it looks and feels well built. I will use it for outdoor storage this winter. I brush the snow off every storm but otherwise leave the car alone.

Re: Car covers

I just purchased a Griot's Garage cover for my '05. Put it away about 4 weeks ago and the cover is very nice. Of the three covers I've had before (generic covers for an old eagle talon) the Griot's quality far surpasses a generic cover. Cost a little more too, but I do recommend the Griot's cover to anyone who is planning on keeping their xfire for an extended period of time.
