I got from Ebay (xtremecarcover). Fitment is tight which is perfect. Just no holes for antenna or mirrors, but it fit fine. $40 shipped.

Tap'd from my G-Nex

Is this stuff safe, like it wouldn't somehow scratch the paint? Never had a cover for a car so idk.

I picked up a BRZ cover through Subaru for $110, including the optional bag.

^^ What he said. Also shop around but I found I could get it cheaper from subaruonlineparts.com cheaper shipped to me than to pick one up at a local dealership.

Do you think that would hold up during the winter? I'm looking for one I can put on my car and not have to worry about cleaning the car off in the morning when it snows/freezes. It would be nice to walk out and just yank the cover off and go.

Hold up in the winter? yes. But i'd only recommend it if you are using the car. The issue I see with the cover is the seems allow moisture through, so the dew will leave a series of moisture marks in the morning. So that might allow snow to go through as well. If you are using it all the time that wouldn't be an issue due to the miniscule amount, but if you were putting the cover on and leaving it for the winter i could forsee an issue.

Overall rating for the cover:
Fitment 8.5/10 (have to remove the antenna or it'll bend it slightly, otherwise great snug fit)
Weather 6/10 (keeps the major sh*t off)
Paint safety 9/10 (haven't found any issues yet but I always ensure the car is super clean before putting the cover on so I can't speak for putting it on one that hasn't been cleaned)
Bang-for-buck 8/10 (for the price, not a bad buy [recommend subaruonlineparts.com instead of through a dealership])
