For sure lives outside but I just bought the cover this summer. Is it not good to leave it under a cover outside?

Wind/dust/dirt can get under the cover and then you have to contend with condensation. In the past I've used the following with mixed results.

The Noah cover, is strong, not very prone to lifting and has a soft inner skin which is good for the paint. But wind can get under the car and lift the cover if not tied down properly.

The Permabag cover, is great as it provides a sealed environment but you have to keep an eye on the humidity..

Single skin covers tend to be rather flimsy, I've steered clear of them unless they are used internally..

Got the JDM side markers and the DRL for Christmas but received on Thanksgiving. Slots opened again for Christmas

Just need to figure out a clean installation for the DRLs.

I finally got around to adjusting the KW's I got from another member here, raised them a tad from his settings, and leveled them out. These things ride great. Time for an alignment (ignore the winter wheel/tire setup)

I was on the fence about this "upgrade" but now I'm sold!

Who remembers when doors used to fly open and people fell out of moving cars?

I installed them a couple months back too. My impression was that you MUST notice the difference during the first drive. After that your brain readjusts and it's too late.
