Just preparing for the worst, because my car may be sitting for a certain period of time, longer than i like, im assuming months. i want one that can stand most the elements mainly rain and sun, and in combination moisture. a lock is not necessary, easy storage is a plus..

just wanna know if anybody has any leads on a good website?

thanks

I have one of the autotechnica stormguard covers, the ones that come in the red box. Excellent cover, fleecy lined inside so it doesn't scratch the paintwork and fully waterproof. Excellent for when the car has to sleep outside.

I also have the Autotechnica cover, premium one. It works great. Was about $160 from memory?

I think from memory I got a xl or an xxl, it wasn't one of the main ones was only for like 3 cars or something from memory. But I needed the extra length to go over the spoiler and under the front bar of my car. The one that they recommend for the skyline couple was way way to small. get either the next size up or 2 sizes up, whatever they have.

where can i order one thats fitted to the car?

That was my problem, I bought one that was supposed to be fitted to the car but was way to small, the dude in the shop when i took it back said it's probally for standard ones not gtr's. Mine fits over the top of the car very very well and you just tuck the extra length at the front under the bar.

for a fitted cover go to covercraft. they have beautiful car covers. they are model specific too, to your exact model. so they fit perfectly. but quite expensive at around the $400 mark.

The best you can buy at auto shops is probably the Kenco Tyvex car cover. When I bought my first one, it was $150. I think they're around $100 now.

I must warn you though, it will scratch your car. My car is black and had fresh paint. I used to wash it every time before I put the car cover on (I only drove it about once every 1-2 weeks). It put swirlies in the paint (not happy jan).

So I'd rather leave it out to the sun than put a cover on. I've got a garage now anyways.

Your best option is probably one of those carports from supercheap auto for $2-300.
