Arrow Good brand for a car cover?

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced car cover for an evo with the oem spoiler? I see the top notch ones going for $200-$300 and I'm not spending that much for a cover. It will be outside in all weather. Any suggestions on brands or comments?

I've been using the OEM for about four years now without issue.

It's not amazing or anything, but it gets the job done.

They prob want a million dollars for it, I'm not a fan of dealer additional parts, way too overpriced.

I got my cover craft form fitting in 05 for 300+ and it still works great. I'm sure any nonscratch universal one would be fine

I bought a Noah car cover a couple years ago per the recommendations of a few on here and I like it a lot. My gar is garaged every night though and the cover only goes on the car when its put in storage for extended periods of time so its gotten very little use but when it is on I feel it offers good protection from unwanted scratches.

Here is where I went for mine:

It fits like a glove and is waterproof and a very fair price!

Nice.

How's the quality? Is there a window for the rear plate? That's what I dislike about the OEM cover.

Its a good quality. Ill get pictures of it next time I am at where its stored if anyone wants.

There is no window for the rear plate... It is honestly a perfect fit! Covers the entire car and tucks under every area also.

I just ordered a Covercraft Noah per the advice of majority of the guys here. I couldn't justify spending 300+ on a car cover when my evo show signs of 120k of hard driving on it. Cost me 235$ shipped.

I didn't buy the lock as I can make that myself along with the gust preventers, which is a bungee cord and some tarp clamps.
