Default happy guy

My wife called me to meet her in the next town over from us after she finished work. So in keeping the wife happy I did it. She had to gas up her car and told me to meet her at the chevy dealer. long story short she said after 2.5 years of me not having a corvette, It's time to change that. So last night she bought me a 2016 flame red coupe with 2 miles on it.

Now I need a good cover for it. Can someone tell me what the best cover for it will be. For outside.

Congrats, I bought my car cover from Corvette Mods,it's a winter cover and is called a Zipper Door Car Cover, the Zipper door is great for the times you may want to get in to the car for something and not have to remove the entire cover from the car to get in. The first time i used the zipper it seemed a little snug but now works great once it stretched a little, if you want to check it out go to Corvette Mods and do a search for Zipper Door Car Covers, mine is a C6 and the cover is advertised for a C5 and C6 but if you check out the other covers you will see a lot of covers that say they fit C5, C6 and C7s so it may work on yours, i would call or look at other sites for a Zippered cover specifically for a C7.

Very nice! Congrats!

I've always been a supporter of and referrer to CoverCraft car covers. They are custom fit with mirror socks and even an antenna sock if your vehicle came with an antenna, and have some of the best outdoor protection available. UV, rain, snow, etc... they'll block it all!
