I covered my S2k daily for 6 years. Never any scratches.

I covered my Ferrari 308 anytime it was outdoors and one time it got some terrible scratches vertically all over the drives door from the cover. It was a windy day, the cover was lightly flapping against the side of the car, and some sand had gotten blown in between the two. It took me a couple hours with a polishing wheel to remove them.

I'd recommend covering your car. The advantages far outweigh the risks from my experience assuming you're actually the type of person that doesn't mind spending a couple minutes every time you park putting the cover on. If that's not you, don't waste your money.

Cal Car Covers are fantastic, they'll have one that's custom fit as soon as these cars are on the road.
