Default Opinion/Advice C5 Cover

Is anyone familiar with Covercraft Bock-it 380 ? I am looking for a C5 cover for my vert,have had some replies,but generic ones and ones that fit targa, and ZO6,looking for custom fit vert cover. I talked to Cc yesterday and have this Block-it 380 on sale,just wondering if anyone has tried it,looking to keep dust off more than indoor / outdoor cover,but the price is right.

Thanks

I can't speak to that specific cover, but I just picked up the indoor Covercraft Dustop model and can tell that the fit is spot on.

If your car will be indoors save the 300 bucks for something else. Buy a cheap cover just to keep dust and what ever else off the car. As long as you plan to dust the car here and there. If you do plan to sotre it for a while than i would get the better cover.

No point in spending that much for a cover if you drive the car weekely and wash it weekly. IMO i dont know how the heck those companies make any money from those things some casn cost 500 bucks thats NUTS. I would only buy a really nice cover like that if my car was going to be kept outside. Something to keep the sun, and other crap off the paint.
