Here is the one that I have, Its used everyday outdoors while at work and I love it. Keeps the rain, leaves, and bird poop away. Keeps the interior cool and unfaded. Been in high winds but it stays on the car. A little extra work everyday but IMO well worth it.

I looked at a lot of covers. My car stays in garage so I don't "need" extra protection of outside cover nor did I want to pay 200 or 300+ bucks for a cover just keep dust off and provide some degree of protection in the garage. I also like the pocket covers over the mirrors and a good fit on the car rather than just a over the car one size fits all type cover. The must have for me was being fully flannel lined to protect paint. New poly materials may be fine I have just had good luck with old fashioned flannel. The premium flannel cover from Zip products at $129 was the cover I selected. Comes in light tan. Got it in a couple days via Brown truck. Well made, soft on the inside against the car with a nice fit on the car and a storage bag. What is not to like?

I also keep my Corvette covered and in the garage each winter. I have a C6 Coupe. The Cover I continue to use is from my old C5. I like the C5 cover on the C6 as it is not nearly as tight. being indoors the cover does not need to be as tight. I just wanted to say that I like the looseness factor better than being snug tight...

I have a cover like yours and it works great for outside. Don't have a garage and I have several oak trees in the yard and those leaves drives me crazy.

We offer several indoor covers. Check them out here

One of my favorite right now is the zipper door covers which allow you to enter the car without removing the whole cover.

Default Car Cover

I have two. A indoor cover I purchased with the car and the one I prefer and use is from Cover King.

I use their top of the line indoor/outdoor cover

Autobody Armor

I keep my car indoor and this cover is the best I found on the market.

Check out West Coast Corvettes to order.

Mine came with the Z06 logo on the front and the corvette flags on the rear.

I can't say enough nice things about this cover.....I'm really picky as well.

Good luck with the search.

Regards,
Scott

Just purchases a car cover from West Coast Corvette. They have a sale currently with free shipping. Up front people. Cost me $219.95 and blue color cover. Hopes this helps.

PS - If you find the same type of cover at a lower price I think they will match. Good luck.
