reading the ad that one looks like overkill for indoor....

I just got and ultraguard cover, fits well with mirror pockets and a tight stretch fit...

Just google, theres tons of choices out there....here's a link to a post on the subject from this year:

Good luck...

1999C5JSS- I had great support from Coverking. I posted a few pics on this forum of an issue I had with one of their covers and they contacted me personally and replaced cover (even upgraded it) with a new one. They even paid all shipping and handling to Hawaii as well.


"I apologize for the issues you haveexperienced with your car cover. I have been asked to send a call tag to getback your car cover and place a replacement order to send you a new replacementcar cover."


I highly recommend them. Their covers are high quality and their customer support is second to none.

I bought one from MAM for about $40 plus shipping that is corvette universal, a nice blue color and easily goes back in it's own bag. Will wash very easily when needed. For an inside cover I don't see any reason to get fancy. They also have them in pink if you want something different.

I am using one I got from West Coast Corvettes - it's called IntroGuard so something like that. Cost was $100 on sale (about $130 or so not on sale). Have been using it for six years and it fits well and keeps the car dust free.

I bought mine from WCC about 5 years ago and it's held up quite well and does a great job. Very lightweight and easy to put on. The price they are offering for it now, is considerably cheaper than it was.

Go to sears or KMart where they have covers for thirty bucks that regularly go on sale for $23. Mine is almost four years old and still looks new
