In need of a car cover... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I need to get a outdoor car cover for my BRZ. Any suggestions?

Marcoscrdo · 12-22-2014, 01:51 PM

carid.com is where I got mine. Hand stitched, clothed in the inside to avoid scratches, weatherproof outdoors or indoors really well made.

Still have mine for sale:

just buy the Subaru OEM one. I think that works well enough. Water resistant as well. Only $139. I got mine for about $100 because I had an employee give me discount for it

Go to a car parts store.
Find the car covers. Buy whichever one you want.

I bought a cheap one. The same one my detailer uses and recommends.

I bought this one for about $200. Great fit, thick, high quality cover that I use for when I'm away for 30+ day intervals.

I have an OEM cover and a cheapy Crappy Tire one, the OEM one fits perfectly and is way stronger. If its being stored outside you DO NOT want a universal one as the wind will flap it around and potentially scuff/scratch your paint underneath where it doesn't fit well.

Does the OEM cover have a sheath for the OEM antenna for the pre-2015 cars?

As far as I remember mine did.

Thanks for all the comments. I think I'll just go with the OEM one. I don't need to spend much more then that on a cover.

I bought a used california car cover from the bay was from a vette. Its a whole 7" too long lengthwise, but fits great otherwise.

If you need something better, the Covercrafts are awesome. Have one for my other car that is rated for hail and fits like a glove. Haven't gotten one for the BRZ yet, but will likely soon as we only have a 1-car garage and 3 cars that we happen to like… (my cover will at least fit over the WRX, though not quite perfectly)
