Hi. Can anyone recommend a decent car cover, preferably from experience of owning one... neatly wrapped around their 300ZX? I'm not too bothered what it costs as long as it does the job without marking my pristine paintwork. I considered one of those tent things, but I don't think it'd survive where the car's parked - bit of a wind-tunnel down the side of the house.

 

Ta in advance.

i have this one, it's not bad and fits well

only prob it wasn't as good a fit with the 99spec spoiler i fitted after buying it, i think they can do one for the spoilers but it's not listed on the site

Ah... I forgot to mention I have an all round bodykit and bigger spoiler, so a custom fit for the Z32 may not be ideal. Still, it seems to fit yours OK. Is that pic of your cover with the spoiler fitted?

 

Is the stitching lined with anything on the inside (silicone?)? Not sure it's a good idea to have stitches laying right on the paintwork. Have you noticed any rub marks at all... along the front wings or whatever?

 

Last question - with your spoiler, does the cover reach over the exhausts, or tuck in just above them? My rear bumper drops lower than the exhausts, so the cover would need to be pretty deep or I'd end up with a line across the back.

 

Thanks for the link and the info.

i have a full wings west kit and a 99 rear spoiler. the back comes down and tucks over the exhust. the paint work is fresh on the car and the cover hasn't made any marks on it. there are no seams inside, i'll take some more pic's tomorrow. the reason i went for this one is you can put it on a wet car.the monsoon one you have to put it on a dry car. this one is breatable.

If cost really isn't an issue...... http://www.carcoon.co.uk/

Nice idea that Carcoon... the ~500 quid cost isn't the problem, I just can't imagine the local kids being able to resist the temptation to use it (and my car) as a bouncy castle. I'd seriously consider one of these if my car was locked up in the 20 grand garage I don't have (yet?). I might even go live inside it, if I could get pure oxygen pumped in somehow.

Krs... thanks for going to the effort to take more pics and answer my questions. I've been holding off from using a cover until now because I can't see how anything that's in contact with the paintwork won't have an effect on it. But I'm now totally fed up with running out to spray off bird shyte every day. I'm interested in how your cover is seemless (and stitchless) inside, and what the inside surface looks/feels like. It's not that I don't trust you, but I really don't want anything coming into contact with my paintwork that'll mean another respray any time soon. I know you know what I mean... I'd rather pay 500 quid for a cover that keeps the car good for another ten years rather than 100 quid for one that gives wear marks after a couple.
