Default thin outdoor car cover

My mustang owning friend finally got a Z06. He is looking for a thin car cover to use outdoor at work etc., that can easily fit in the trunk. I am looking for recommendations and where he can purchase one. He wants one that will fit the mirrors and antenna, so no crappy autostore generic ones.


I have one, but it's thick and was a gift, so i'm useless to him.

Check out e-bay.

But REALLY - does he want to cover his car up while he is at work ?

WHY - never seen anyone doing this.

The outdoor cover I use on all my cars in the summer is the Budge Tyvek cover.It's not fitted,but it's white and reflects sun & heat really well.Weights almost nothing.

Size 3 fits my Z and keeps the the black interior fairly cool on the 95+deg days we have in the south.

They run about $40-50.
