Default Good car cover

Hey all...

My dad has a 2005 Mustang GT convertible and looking for a car cover for it.

What's the best one to avoid scratches and best overall?
where's the best prices?

Thanks

Is the car kept outside or garage kept?

Right now I have to keep my Mustang outside until I can make more room in my garage, so I bought an Evolution 4 car cover from www.autoanything.com. They seemed to have the best price on that particular cover. However they do sell other brands as well as styles. As far as price for a custom car cover, expect to pay anywhere from $150-300.
Do get one that is custom made and not a one size fits many. You want pockets for the mirrors. Plus do not put a hole in the cover for the antenna. To me, you defeat the purpose, especially if it is kept outside. I just take my antenna off and lay it in my trunk.

It's kept inside a garage.

Then I would go with one that is a flannel type material. Check out that website, they do have good prices compared to other companies who sell the same brands.

If your car is not garage kept, then maybe you should rethink that one from Noah. It doesn't do well in extreme sun. Plus you are paying more for the Ford logo and emblems. I painted my own running Mustang using a template and fabric paint.

Lol, I live in Michigan, I don't think sun will be the problem and it should be in a garage soon (hopefully)
