I just got my 4 layer cotton lined cover from you last week and it is real nice but doesn't fit too well. It is real tight and hard to get on. I wonder if it is just tough because I have a Grand Sport with a rear spoiler. Any suggestions? I can post a pic if needed.
I also have a GS with full rear spoiler.
How has this stretched out for you in the past couple weeks?

Ok. I was hoping it will stretch out a bit. My ZR1 carbon fiber splitter that I got from you is still exposed because it was pretty snug just getting it over the front fascia. There's no way it's getting over the splitter. The only area I am concerned about is the top edge of the rear clip because that's where it is the tightest right against that edge.

With the rear spoiler and extended front nose of the GS, plus mine being a convertible, it just really does not fit very well. It's baggy and loose in a few areas while others are super tight.
If I had a standard C6 it would probably fit great and it is a really nicely made cover.
If you guys at Corvettemods have an alternative that is for a GS convertible I'd sure be interested in swapping mine back in for one that fits better.

It has not. And when it is cold it is even harder to get it on.

given the concerns expressed above about fitment on the GS, what about a ZR1 ?
I don't need the cover to fit over the front splitter (car is garaged)--resting on top of it is fine.
what about the rear & sides ?

Okay here is my feedback on the $119.99 cover and the vendor.
The cover was pretty nice. I really liked the thickness of it. It would be a great cover if you are worried about anything hitting or dinging the car. Or protecting it from someone walking by it carrying something and bumping into it or something like that. Or maybe a pet jumping up on the car...
I also liked that it was water proof. So it would be a good outside cover or good for the wet garage door coming up over it and dripping rain on it.
My problem with it though was that it was just too stiff and not flexible. It just did not fit well on my convertible GS. My rear spoiler is also slightly taller than a stock ZR-1 spoiler too. Between the spoiler and extended noise it just did not fit well.
The vendor (Corvette Mods) was great to work with and when I express my issues with the cover he offered to take it back and swap it in for the next model up. I took him up on the offer, and sent the cover back to the manufacturer. They then sent me the next model up, and I paid Corvette mods the difference.
This is the one that i have now: http://www.corvettemods.com/C6-Corve...rt_p_5063.html
And rather than order a Yellow one to match my car, Corvette Mods recommended a Black one as the lighter colored ones show dirt more easily. So I went with their recommendation, and glad I did. The Black cover looks real good.
I am real happy with this new one. It is easier to put on by far. It is also far more flexible and wraps low around the front and back covering all of the car. The elastic band keeps it fitting tight too. It is pretty soft too so no worries about the paint. I think it to be worth the extra cost. I'd buy it again.
So a thumbs up on the new cover and for Corvette Mods.
