I'm very happy with my "Noah" cover. Works great outside (which it is particularly designed for) but I use it inside a lot. It offers great protection in the garage as well. A number of CF vendors will be able to get one for you. Mine came from WCC. Good luck with your search.

I have a very nice looking cover...came from a vendor here. It is stretch fit and lined on the inside. It even has the logo and was easily a few hundred dollars and a PITA to finally get it delivered. It is supposed to be perfect for indoors, but it is crap. I work overseas three months and go home for one. When I used it and uncovered the car, there was dirt ON THE CAR under the cover! I now refuse to use the cover for any longer than a week at a time.

Just do your research and ask around. Noah seems to be good. I wish I knew the name of mine to steer you clear. Waste of about $350 for a strecth fit cover that looks super cool on the car, but does not perform-and is only an indoor cover.

Save the Corvette Tax and go to Pep Boys and get a $40 cover. Fits great.

Bandit,

I just moved, so the car books and catalogs are still unpacked.
Google search California Car Covers. When you get their phone # give them a call. Tell them what you are looking for and they will be very helpful.

I have a garage and wound up with an indoor cover.

One suggestion with outdoor covers is the lighter the color the better especially in a hot climate(displaces heat). Another is, on a windy day you want the cover to stay put and not flap around. A guy in my development used spring clamps to keep the cover from flopping.

The Noah does gets good reviews and I believe it is reasonably priced.

I don't think California is a forum vendor but they do know their covers.

I have a NOAH Wolf model - - but to fast-forward your information flow, use the search feature for the forum and use keyword: Cover King, Cover Craft or Wolf and you can read lots of information - it's a fairly frequent topic.

Good luck-
