Default Car Cover Question

I am looking to get a car cover for my new stang and was wondering if anyone else has a car cover for their stang? What brand should i go with? I'm trying to get prepared for the Spring season ahead. I've been looking at this one on mustangstuff.com... www.v6mustangstuff.com/05Exterior1.htm
I also found one that's like double the price on another site but i don't know if i should go that route.

Default RE: Car Cover Question

get one made SPECIFICALLY for the car- my thought process WAS as follows;
"oh i think i'll go get a car cover, i dont want to spend $250 though, so i'll just get one that says it fits my car, so i can keep it looking nice"

so i went up to pep boys and grabbed one for close to $100 cuz i didnt want to be a cheap scate on my brand new car that i was trying to protect. Problem was, it was irritating having to take it off and roll it up every time i wanted to go some where, espeically when i was in a hurry, and when its windy out your cover moves and scrateches every inch of paint on your car.

For all you guys like me who do not care much for those poly/fiber, waffle pressed car covers, I found and bought a great canvas outer, flannel inner carcover for the 05/06 stang. I have a black car and need a cover that will not make any scratches. I keep my car in the garage and needed a good protection cover from the kids and dust. Here is a good picture and the web site.

I ordered one from Summit Racing a custom fit noah Wolf cover. I think it was around $150. Between me and my boyfriend we've owned 4 Wolf covers for various cars and they hold up real well if your car is going to be kept outside.

For about $150 you can get a nice "fitted" cover - mirror pockets, etc., made specifically for the 05-06 Mustang. I bought one on Ebay fro Sacramento Mustang. It is made from Noah material.

I had a focus when I went to iraq last year and bought a wolf cover for it. it was outside the entire year. that cover was fantastic. I highly recomend them, if you want to spend the money. I bought the cheap $20 one from walmart for my stang, but I park it under cover and wash it all the time.

I think I've decided to go with the Noah material car cover...seems to offer me the best protection for the car. I don't mind paying the extra $ if it'll do the job. I found one for 150 bucks just like you all said. Thanks for everyones recommendations!

I got the one in your link. I've been very happy with it.
