Im still trying to decide whether I should get one or not. Factory one isn't too expensive considering the protection it adds. Plus the fitment looks great in the picture threads iv'e seen about it.

I'd definitely get one if I didn't have a garage. I had one for my old cars but only really used them when I knew the snow was coming.

Factory cover isn't worth the money. I have an outdoor stored car and gave up on using it. I'd get a California Car Covers one if I wanted to use a cover. It's tedious to do every night when you get home, tedious to roll up every morning, and the stock one isn't even really padded or that water proof.

Didn't someone mention a while ago that most car covers can cause swirl marks on the car?

It would depend on how clean the car and cover is. If you throw the cover on when the car isn't clean then it's most likely going to scratch the paint a bit. Covercraft seems to make a decent cover.

This was my concern, never had a problem leaving my old civic outside, but then again it was an old civic. Now I have a new found interest in car covers haha

I will look into Covercraft and do a bit more research, makes sense about covering a dirty car though.

Honestly I dont want to use it every day, just when I know things are going to get bad.

That's how I used to be. I would only use it when snow was coming or if a bad storm was coming in.

Depends also on the type of material that the cover is made out of. Also make sure that the cover fits the car and isn't able to blow around while the car is covered. Any movement on the surfaces of the car could cause problems.
