Default Best Car Cover

I am looking for a quality outdoor car cover for an 05 mustang gt w/spoiler.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeepmen

I ordered my from the dealer, actually my wife did as a present. But, it is very nice, light silver/grey color, pockets for the mirrors, antenna hole already cut and reinforced, cover has a clear area on the rear for the license plate(clear plastic) for visibility. Room for the spoiler if equipt. Printed in black letter on rear "Mustang" and a galloping horse on the front.

Very nice cover, 4 layer construction, very nice grommets for the lock on the bottom sides as well.

I recall reading on the cover itself it was made by covercraft in California.

about $220 at the dealer. Fits the 05 very well.

later,

Why the heck do they need a "cover has a clear area on the rear for the license plate"? sounds like something for cop to play with [:@] . I cover my car I dont want people seeing sheeet.

The literature described some areas , such as a private parking garage, need to verify the vehicle is authorized to be parked there.

The cover is very well constructed.

Prior to my last experience with California Car Covers I would have suggested using them but not any more. I called for a cover for a new GT and it was like pulling teeth to get what I wanted. They kept pushing the more expensive covers against my wishes... Ended up buying a 37 dollar cover from COSTCO and I'm thrilled with it... Saved myself about $120. and they loose...
Very nice fit for a generic cover....

37 bucks!! no way? rain protection? any padding for dents and scratches?. I hate the idea of paying 140 for one.. but to get something that will work good... it doesnt look like a choice..
