Default Car Covers

I'm thinking about getting a car/dust cover for indoor storage. Can anyone recommend one that's reasonably priced? Also, it appears that while there may be pockets for the side mirrors the antenna would either have to be removed or that part of the vehicle would be sticking up. Is the antenna easy to remove? Perhaps cut a hole in the cover? Thanks in advance for your responses!

The OEM dust cover is a little price at just over $200. You can find used ones for about half the price.

If I recall, the OEM cover has a pocket for the antenna also similar to the pockets for the side mirrors so there is no need to remove it.

When I was still using those el-cheapo "Premier" Budge car covers, I take off the antenna (easily twist on and off) and just put in on the crevice of the top below the rear window, where the water collects and stuff. You just have to remember to put it back on when you drive it.

my car lives under the honda dust cover at work and at home (both inside garages)-
it does have a pocket for the mirrors and also for the antenna. its got enough padding to protect the sides from light dings and does a great job of keeping stuff outta the car (my top is always down) and also keeps it looking shiny new all the time!
i think its the perfect indoor cover-

I put a cheap aftermarket one (like a 20 dollar one from eBay or something) over the OEM one ... the OEM is not water resistant and has "S2000" in the front. So if you are looking for water resistance and a lower-profile look, go for this combo. Having the OEM one under a loose fitting aftermarket one is important, since the OEM one has a really snug fit and is made of very fine fabric inside
