just a thought and not sure if others had the same issue but I bought one at Auto Zone and looked at the box for recommended size. I guess it take the wing in account cuz it didn't go all the way down the rear bumper. It only went to the bottom of the trunk lid. I needed the next size up. It would've fit perfect if I didn't have the wing. Something to think about.

That was what I did...it recommended a medium so I went large. Covers the entire car with a little bit to spare. Cost was $30. Kept the car clean since it is also indoors. No offense, but it is a car cover...no need to go ultra expensive, unless you dont have a garage/car port.

Just make sure it is soft, so it wont scratch the paint, and it "breathes," since you dont want moisture trapped underneath.

i bought the evo car cover from the mitsu dealership for 150
this cover is specifically designed for the evo, i was overall pretty happy w/ it, it does the job when it snows, but every time you put it on you gotta remove the antenna

the cal car covers are made by covercraft- lots of vendors sell them. I have the evolution model. Nice cover, fit is a bit tight around the rear bumper IMO.

i dont kno bout cheap cause they cost me 129.17 and i'll sell it 139.17 and thats a good hook up. no vendor tells you their cost. i dont care i still make money im salary. but my boss aint gonna start lettin me give parts away. lol and retail is 216.22 and evom discount is 162.62. and nothin beats oem fit, from the antenna to the mirrors this car cover fits like a glove. and come with a bag to store it in. it you can manage to fold it up good enough to fit back in

I like the OEM car cover. It fits perfect with the Perrin Shorty antenna.
