FRS car cover

[fitcious]

Hi guys,

Anyone can recommend to me a fairly priced car cover for the FRS?

I am just using it to cover at work or when I am traveling for work. I also will probably put it on when I park outside where I live.

I see some ranging from $60-$230..with the latter being thicker. Can anyone explain why the higher priced ones are better beside from being thicker?

I see some on ebay for like $50. How are those?

Thanks

I personally dont use car covers because they end up causing swirls on the paint so I cant recommend what to get.

If you absolutely have to get a car cover get one that is the right size for it, something thats going to fit tightly around the car so it doesn't move and slide around on the paint.

They create swirls? Damn I didn't know. The whole reason I got a car cover is to add extra protection and prevent dust to accumulate (since my BRZ will be parked 4-5 days of the week in my garage).

I personally got the BRZ car cover (haven't taken delivery of my BRZ yet).

However I was disappointed with the material of the Subaru OEM BRZ car cover, it seems very cheap and the inside it's definitely not soft.

Basically what happens is when you put your car cover on a vehicle thats is already dirty or dusty and the car cover moves around on top of that dust and dirt, it ends up slowly scratching the paint and creating light scratches in the paint.

The best way to avoid this if you had to get a cover is get something of good quality, and make sure its very tight so there wont be any movement in wind.

You want the model 241001 (compact sedans). It fits the FR-S like a glove.

Is it extremely snug to they point where it will take some time to put on? Also i have the normal antenna, will that cause an issue with this?

Thanks

Mine is specifically for the FRS/BRZ, and I bought it off another forum member.

Works pretty good when I park the car for extended periods of time in the garage.
I'll see if I can get some pics later, been driving the car often in the last few days and haven't really used it yet.

Not quite that, it just takes a couple minutes, less if you have help.

Car covers can damage the paint.. They are generally used to protect clean cars, as in garage queens. If you put them on a dirty car, you can rub the dirt into the paint.. Etc..

I prefer the term GARAGE KING.

Garage King is for built cars that see track time and race on weekends..
Garage Queen is for cars that are stock and afraid to get down and dirty...

Think of rubbing down your dry car with a dry towel. It wouldn't be long before your paint was shot. That's what a car cover and wind can do to your car over time. I've had dust covers on cars that were in my garage but never a car cover outside.

If it's just for dust you'd be better off getting a microfiber duster/california duster to use on the days the car is mostly clean. I have the Xtreme Cover Pro listed on ebay for storing mine in the garage for winter; has a nice fit and keeps the dust off.

Curious. What about for outside storage in the winter time. No garage access. Safe to use after a cleaning?
