Hmmm, It depends what you need the cover for, Just to cover it in the garage for dust or outside for all the elements?

Reasonably priced? I am not sure what that means to you but we all probably have a different definition. So here is a link where you can see for yourself what Ecklers offers. I know there are other sources, but I just happened to have this link handy.

Well I'm not sure what you'd get for $300 since I only spent about half that. But I have the Wolf fitted cover from Ecklers. I also use mine just for keeping dust off while inside the garage. It fits very well and does the job; material is soft so there is no problem with scratching! I am happy with it.

Here's the type that I've used for the past 6+ years. It is light, doesn't scratch and has a very long warranty. And hey, you can't beat the price!

About $300 for a good custom fit and a good soft weather proof fabric.

By the way, my Wolf IS a custom fit, is soft enough so that it won't scratch, and cust less than 1/3 the price of covers sold by the "custom" shops.

I have had a Wolf cover for going on two years. Car stays in driveway and covered when not used. Even after a heavy rain, or snow, when the cover is dry and I remove it there is no spotting on the car and it stays as clean as when it was covered. I'm impressed. Paid $150 for it.

Cheers

I bought my car cover from Corvette Garage - it is made by Intro-Tech and is the Intro-Guard model. Came with an embroidered C5 logo on the front. Works very well for a car kept in the garage. Bought mine on sale for around $100.
