CAR COVER

Just talked with Charlie at Car Coverworld, Dover, DE, and he told me that they now have the specs to make covers for our FR-S's. They have a variety of fabrics to choose from. On their homepage go to the FFR Cobra store to chose a fabric and then get price. The FFR Cobra heading is on the left side below mustang and camaro. Right now to order you will need to call it in since they don't have any 2013 cars listed yet.

The website has a poor rating for some reason. I received a car cover from Scion as part of my 1st 86'er gift and is from Cover King in Anaheim, CA. Their website didn't have one listed for the FRS, but the one for the Tc was priced at $290, which seems steep. Mine came with a nice carrying bag and is made of very soft material. Fortunately I have a 3 car garage and won't be using it much.

Indoor use

Like others have stated I need a cover for outdoor use. That means it needs to be durable. It may cost as much as $300 - $400 as a top of the line product but the protection will be well worth it. Since Car Coverworld now has the specs from Scion others should follow quickly. Try calling Cove King.
