Corvette Central sells a quality cover with no markings which I liked.
That's where I got mine. Not cheap....about $40 now...

put a cheap chrome one on mine years ago, had to swap out the original seal/diaphragm. The rubber that came with it was junk. However, that was easy and it's still fine.

Agreed,
Most are junk and don't fit tight.

I was surprised that someone doesn't make a billet one that looks decent and used the normal bails. The ones I saw would look at home on a stock car or something. (ended up making my own)
