My wife bought me a EVO-4 fitted cover from either Ecklers or Mid America for ~$150.00. It is a nice cover. Has the C-4 logo embroidered on the front and "Corvette" on the back and has a storage bag. It is however not waterproof.
I used it for a couple of months while my car was parked at work. If it rained more than just a sprinkle all the dust that was trapped in the cover ended up on my car. I haven't used it in over a year.

I bought the Econ Cover from Corvette America 4 years ago for about $60.00. They have 2 or 3 other models, one cheaper and a few that are more expensive. I got the Econo model because my car is garaged and I'm not worried about rain/snow.
The good thing about them is they are fitted for your particular year.

I have used the NOAH cover from MAM for three years. Dust gets through it, especially if it rains.
The sun has weakened the material to the point that it is tearing at several stress points.
Any of the Corvette suppliers will have a nice selection of good covers to choose from. Most of them are not waterproof, nor do they want to be.

Thanks for all the info so far. My main concern is when I go to my place in northern Wisconsin I have no garage and will have to park it under several trees that are sure to cause a mess, also it's lake side and sometimes very windy which I was told with a car cover it could ruin my paint. Thanks Again,look forward to any other thought's, JC
the paint will mildue and creat white spots on your paint(clear coat) if you don't get enough air under the cover.

I thought about getting a car cover for my Vette to protect it from the elements, mainly snow. But if wind can cause the cover to damage my paint, its definitely not worth it. Id rather deal with the snow and stuff.
