Any recommendations. I can get the dealer one for my brz, but wondering if anyone has any experience with other brands/types?

thanks!

unless it's an indoor cover which will be stationary on the car,don't buy a car cover for outside!.they move and will scratch your car,also if you live in a cold climate,be very careful the cover doesn't stick to the paint when it is very cold outside!.if this should happen,there's a good chance the cover will take the paint off the car as you peel off the cover!

I don't have any recommendations but I do have a caution I like to throw out now and then in case someone hasn't thought of it. If yiou're wanting the cover to perform as a dust cover inside a building, no problem. If you're wanting to cover a car outside in the elements just be sure you're aware of what the buffeting of the fabric can do to your paint. Thnk of rubbing down your car with a dry towel. A car cover outside can do more harm than any good it might do.

I need a custom indoor car cover that will fit over my massive rear wing. I wonder if i take measurements of the wing they can make a pocket for it.

you maybe right. but i think it depends on what type of car cover.

this is true! should have mentioned that! some covers are ok,but
do cost a ton of money. me? i would prefer to just leave it outside uncovered,and
use a "foam" snow remover to get the snow off.

The Noah is most of the Supra owners have. Some even go as far as putting the form fit indoor cover, then the Noah.

Who makes this cover? It looks like a homemade cover made out of garbage bags.

Here's mine. Strictly for indoor use only. Perfect fit and sexy as hell! Lots of looky-loos when the garage door's open.

Meant to mention that it is for indoors. I wont use it when parked outside. When in the garage would prefer to keep it covered if i wont be during for long periods of time, mostly because i like to work with wood and it tends to kick up lots of dust cutting sawing, etc..

If we start getting any decent snow i will keep it parked in the garage as well. For my motorcycle i just use an old sheet that seems to work well, but I dont have any sheets this big, haha.

Really like that sparco one, thats slick looking.

It's not made specifically for the twins and it comes in 3 sizes S-M-L. The small fits perfect.

Here's my previous post showing what you get and a closeup of the liner.

It's quite pricey at $200, but it was on sale when I bought it and I paid $150. Just a few bucks more than the OEM BRZ cover, which I think doesn't compare at all with thr Sparco. I've looked around and the satin stretch covers are the most expensive ones and 150 is actually a bargain.

I got it at Canadian Tire (Canadian equivalent of Pep Boys/Autozone). Not sure where you can get them in the states.

On a different note, I saw this when shopping around for a cover:

Another option if you're really anal about the paint.

If indoor only, get the $20 one at walmart, size 3, fits perfect and as long as the car is dust free when you put it on, no harm will be done.

No seriously, who makes it? All of the car covers that I've seen that claim to be "rain proof" are fabric so it just absorbs the moisture instead of completely blocking it. The cover you have makes more sense.
