car cover
Hey Guys, I am looking to buy a cover for my Vette, always inside, mostly for dust control. Is that something one could buy for under 100 dollars ? Don't really want a cheapie, fair quality !!

I bought my car cover, indoor use only, from West Coast Corvettes a number of years ago. It does a good job keeping the dust off, fits well and only cost me right at $100 on sale. It was called IntroGuard or IntroTech or something like that. Silver in color.

I have two garage-cars. I bought generic covers for both of them from Costco. My C5Z is wearing the medium sized cover and it works just fine. If I remember correctly it was about $35.00.

I bought this one in practically new condition from the classified section, I really like it keeps the dust and crap off the car.

I purchased this one from WCC about 8 years ago, and it has held up beautifully. Very light in weight but, heavy enough to know you're getting a decent cover. They have different color options and it's a great indoor cover. One thing is for sure, after a coat of Chadwicks is put on this cover will slide off the side if your not quick about putting it on, preferably getting one of the mirrors in the pocket to negate some of that "slide" effect but, I always think those are nice problems to have.
Priced at $149.00, it's worth a look.http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-2...ered-logo.aspx

I picked up a used cover I found on Craigslist. It's a Premium Flannel cover by Corvette America. It'll be indoor as well and so far, so good. It fits my vert great. New the guy said it was $160 +/- and I was able to get it for $60.
