Lancer Evolution Car Cover

I tried to search, but for some reason, the search option hasn't been working for me.

Anyways, can anyone point me in the right direction with what the "BEST/PERFECT FIT" car cover is for our EVOs?

Unfortunately, my garage is used as an overstock area, so there's no room to garage queen the car. Winter is coming up and my car will be in the backyard most of the time, so does anyone know which car cover is the best, in terms of breatheable, waterproof, thickest layer, and what not.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks
Cris

i actually went out to wal mart and got a generic on that fits pretty well.

now, i don't use it very often because my car sleeps in the garage. only really use it when i go camping so i don't get pine sap on my finish.

but i was surprised how well it fit my car, even with the wing. and only cost 30 bucks.

it would probably be to flimsy for your needs, but if you want a cheapie to hold you over till you get your real one, it's not a bad idea.

Like a portable garage. Won't have to waste my time putting the cover on every time.

My detached garage has two doors so I can drive right thru into the carport.
