Umm I have one from Sand Island called pacific motoring custom car covers. Great cover repels water and blocks out uv light and pretty light.

i bought one from california car cover. its awesome. tell them if you have an sti or wrx wing and theyll shape it to your car, even has those things for your side mirrors. i had the cheap car cover before but it would fly away if not tied in the middle. this one has a tie in the middle but its so heavy duty and has good elastic in the front/rear i dont need too.

you can also have whatever your want embroidered (sp?) on the front, i.e. hayn wrx

Just tell them your make of the vehicle and they order it for you. It cost around 150 I think I dont remember.

I got mine from the sand island place also. The one i got was a little bit more pricey but it was something i was willing to pay for. Its near the end of that strip mall on your left when you first get onto Sand Island Access. They dont keep alot in stock so you will have to order when you choose one.

Actually, i got 2 from there. I got one for a previous car and it was in perfect condition when i sold it with the car 3 yrs after i bought it.

I have the Subaru OEM one. It's used but it still does the job... You can take it for 20 bucks. I can't use it anymore since it's only made to fit the stock WRX wing (or wingless). If you're interested PM me.

IMO if your car is in the garage you're better off without the car cover unless you keep the car EXTREMELY clean. Which means washing it or using a quick detailer before putting the cover on. Once you put it on a dirty car you will begin to have marring....even if you're willing to spend the money for a high quality cover ($300-500 or more).

Dont mean to be a party pooper....but its something to think about...there are still reasons to have cover...just make sure you weigh all the options.
