Recommended Car Cover/Tarp?

Looking for a good quality tarp/cover for my new GSR. Will take advice from those that have one on fitment and quality.

I don't have a garage so looking to protect it from snow/ice/bird**** etc.


Thanks!

I'm on my second winter with the Covercraft Evolution 4 Car Cover (custom fit) since my baby is essentially "stored" for the NY winter in the driveway. It was $200 online. Currently covered in snow with more on the way. It's fairly heavy material, holding up well and the fit is perfect.

I got a fitted cover from this site:

http://www.carcoversdirect.com/parts...6143/materials

I got the 200 series since the car is garaged. It was around $140 and there was a coupon I believe. Fits spoiler and has mirror pockets. Fits like a glove!

Thanks for the quick feedback everyone. I'll check out the links and read some more reviews before I decide.

I have a noah covercraft one it cost 260 but is the best cover ive owned and is fitted for the car and is 4 layers to allow mositure to escape if the car was damp prior to being covered. The inside material is also soft so you dont scratch the paibt

No experience with any car covers but also read that you should have a clean car before putting it on and have one tight fitting so it can't slap around and scratch up the paint. Just a note incase you didn't know. Goodluck finding one!

I have the OEM cover...nice quality, not cheap...but if I was to do it again I would probably get something that is more water proof. This one fits very well, but leaves something to be desired when taking it off after rain.
