I bought a Pep boy's one a couple years ago, not a contoured fit, but does the job..Soft inside and water resistant....

There are alot of good cover's out there, but I use WOLF. Not cheap but good quality and contour fit. I'm sure others will answer with their favorite.

I bought a cover about 12 years ago from Mid America. It's used for covering car primarily while in the garage although I did have it out with snow covering the car for a couple days a few years ago. The nose did rip a little bit this year while pulling it on the car, but it was my fault for yanking too hard on the cover. This one is similar to the one I have - a three layer.

Wolf sells a $40 el cheapo cover. Really good for interior use and it's somewhat water repellant. I've replaced this every two years.
