Which car cover (for outdoor use) ?
Looking through the old messages, it looks like the Honda OEM car cover is a "dust cover" for indoor use only.
So who makes a good outdoor cover for the S2000 and where is the cheapest place to get it? Any of the sponsors?
I have used Noah covers on a couple of cars and they work pretty well, but are bulky (not that big a deal to me).
In my case, I have car port - so the car and cover will not be exposed to the full elements, but rain and snow do blow in since the sides are open.
There are a couple of cats roaming the neighborhood, so "pet protection" (a thicker cover?) is important. I have recently purchased a cat trap, by the way - so the car problem may be over soon (I will take the cats to the humane society - so no flames).
Also, do you unscrew your antenna to fit the cover, or do made-to-fit covers have an antenna pocket?
Thanks!

The custom-fit car covers from Kimberly-Clark do accomodate the antenna. i have two of them, one their duststop (indoor use only) and the other Noah which you have had experience with. I highly recommend both. it pays to shop around for car covers to get the best price, i got mine from jc whitney. paid $220 plus s&h.
I just bought a covercraft Noah cover and it comes with a pouch for the antenna. It's a great cover. here's the best price I could find for it.

Just click on the covercraft custom covers on the right menu. The Noah or Weathershield are probably your two best options.

I just bought another CoverCraft cover made from the WOLF Evolution 4 fabric. Although the S will not be stored outside I decided to go with another WOLF Evolution 4 cover again. My '90 CRX-Si sat outside with a WOLF E4 cover for three years, including 2 winters - as in Upstate NY! That silly cover is still in great shape.
It does let water through, the car will get wet, but it is breathable and if the car was clean when you put the cover on, it will be clean when you take the cover off, even if it has rained. The only thing - you do need to wash the cover from time to time, otherwise it fills with dirt/dust and that will transfer through to the car during a rain. I just wash it at the Laundromat in one of those big units made for like 45 pounds of cloths.
Here is the best price I could find for CoverCraft quality stitching/patterns.
