Was less than $200
I just checked out the NOAH. Great looking cover. Now is $200.95 with free shipping. Nice! Ok, another choice to think about.

Thanks!!

for full protection try a cover bubble

Thanks, 32! The capsule not for me, but it's a great idea Thank you!

I know, I know LOL. You are right. I will probably go with the CCC...the price is excellent too and since they are "custom" and your SLK cover fits like a glove, it looks like that's the deal for me.

I'll let you know if and when I order it.
I so appreciate your's and everyone that took the time to respond to my incessant questions! lol.

Thanks so much. You guys rock!

honestly you cant go wrong with either cover. just compare apples to apples. ie: indoor to indoor and what warrenties and storage bags and shipping costs. in the end a cover under 200$ will serve you well. no cover will help with hail , trees falling or high winds. but mine keeps bird droppings, cats and such off my car when im traveling

I ordered custom cover from CALCARCOVER. Should be here in about 1.5 weeks.

Thanks everyone! I am sure I'll be happy with it!.

a tip for you. on occasion the cover will need to be washed. the best way is wash in cold water then fluff dry and removew while still damp. install it over the car and allow it to dry the rest oif the way. this will keep the cover from shrinking

Even stays on upside down AND the bagginess in the back? In style with the way young men wear their...uh jeans.

Cissy I have been monitoring your thread. I too am wanting a cover for my srt6. You can't possibly be happy with that "custom" cover. You could probably spend 50 bucks and get a cover that fits as good, maybe better. I would return it, they obviously sent you the WRONG ONE!
If you like it.....pls disregard my reply....it looks great.

On the contrary. I am very happy with it. First, it does fit better than in teh photos. Right now, my car is dirty. If I pull the cover down where it belongs, the wheel wells/tires will get it dirty. Normally, since my car has to sit outside, I don't cover it until I've newly washed it. So, I just put it on "lightly" for the photos and until I wash her.

I can do that. As I reread your top post, you said "they obviously sent you the wrong one". Not at all. Even if it wasn't an EXACT fit, no generic cover is going to fit properly, not even close. With the sloping rear end of the car, generics can't do the job. Yes, this was a "custom" cover, made for limited edition Crossfire coupe. I think for the money and not being from Mopar, they did a damn good job.

Anyway, pics when I have it on the car all the way. You may still not like it, but, hey, that's ok. I like it Besides, an extra
$50 is a big deal when you are retired.

For comparison sake I have attached a few pictures of my cover. Although my cover fits quite snug, the pictures seem to show a looser fit.


Here are a few pics of my SRT6 Coupe under the Covercraft NOAH:

That's very nice.
