Good Car Covers: companies/brands

Looking for a really good car cover for my 87 iroc. i have one currently, but its a universal fit and unless i rope it down front and back it never stays on with a bit of wind. (the car lives outside in my driveway-- dont have a garage)

looking for a custom fit car cover that WILL STAY ON! its really annoying to rope/bunngee the car or take that crap off if i want to take it out. it sees use int he winter as long as its dry out/not snowing.

anyone have one or know of any? whats the best material to use? the one i have now seems to leave dirty marks on the car when i take it off and thats another reason i want to replace it. will a custom fit one stay on or am i dreaming?

oh and i have a cowl hood on it with oepn vents so it must be rainproof/ wont seep thru..i depend on the cover to protect from rain falling into thru the vents. (its a daytona iroc hood)

Noah or Evolution car cover from classic industries made year specific. $150 or $160. You can look them up online.

BTW, your car looks good. Kevin did a good job on the front. Glad to hear it's running well too. Good thing you took my advice to take it to Josh to fix the debacle the shop in NC created.

car capsule, they make outdoor versions that tie/stake down. i have one for inside my garage and LOVE it. May be a bit more than you're looking for.

yeah Frosty...Josh at JS is beyond awesome. he single handedly fixed the absolute clusterf**k that shop in NC made. those guys were a bunch of assclowns. and im way happy with the new front and cowl. Kev did great work on the body..actually, its currently as Josh's and I pick up tomorrow...

is the Noah or Evolution a better quality cover?

The Noah car cover is very good. I have one and my dad had one for his GTO before he sold it.

Here is the chart from classic industries. I have only heard good things about them from fellow gear heads.

i heard Wolf is pretty good too. I just bought a $30 cheapie for mine out of summit racing, but mine sits inside though. Maybe pro90rscam can offer a bit of advice i know his sat outside for years before he had a garage.
