Default Winged car cover

I'm adding a wing to my C6Z and was looking for a car cover. Any of the manufactures making this or is this something that would be custom made?
Looking for direction

Thanks

Hey Gman!(bought your C6Z shocks) What wing did you buy? Some wings I have seen you can actually disassemble them, that would help a bunch.

A couple of us have had our regular car covers cut to fit around the base of the uprights. My cover is in the trailer, but when I get it out, I'll take a picture.

Gary,
I had Covercraft make me a car cover for my other C4 and it had a wing on it. Check with them and see if they might be able to make you a custom cover...........I actually bought the cover through "Greenwood".

I did this for the Camaro. Slotted the rear of the cover for the wing supports and had snaps installed to snap it back together. I also has a small wing cover made to keep my carbon wing looking nice!

Thanks everyone.....lots of good ideas. I like the idea of a seperate section to cover the wing. Maybe drop the snaps and use velcro. I just dropped the car off at DRM so when it comes home I can measure things op and get one made.
Thaks again

yeah...I had velcro in spots too, but needed to snap the bottom of the cover because it had a REAL tight elastic band to keep the cover on the car in the wind, etc. and velcro was not strong enough to hold that part. Worked great!
