I'd like to see what the consensus is on the best car cover for the S. I know there is the stock cover from Honda that we can get for $170+- out there. Any other experiences?

I had a Covercraft for my Prelude SH that was really nice. Anyone have one for the S? It looks like you can pick one up for around $139 at Autosupermarket.com. The Covercraft models look a little sturdier than the stock Honda covers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the Honda cover, and it is very nice for a cover that can only be used indoors (like mine). I had a Covercraft of NOAH material when I had a Corvette, and I thought it was a good all-around cover. Nice fit, water resistant, nicely finished interior. If I hadn't already bought the Honda version, I would be in the market for a more versatile one that could be used outdoors.

I have the weathershield by Covercraft. I got it from TopNotchAuto.com and got 10% off as an S2ki member. I chose this cover for the outdoor use - rain, leaves, sap, bird crap, occasional snow, etc. I do not think the honda cover is for outdoor use or that was the consensus I received when I asked the same question last July...

I don't have a car cover for the Stook (yet) because I just like looking at it every time I go in the garage But the other car I have covered ('88 BMW) with a Flannelguard cover by Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories. I like it for the soft flannel inner lining. It's an indoor use only cover.

i have 2 of the honda covers (you can get them from hondaacessories or handaaccessories- whatever they are called... sponsor way below)- i use them every time i park at the office. dont use them if i am outdoors for a short time. would not work too well in rain. when i wash the car i take the cover and have it cleaned and use the other one... really soft interior and nice heat resistent material for the exhausts.

I have the Weathershield and I've used it all through the winter in the worst conditions -- snow, freezing rain, rain, high winds, etc. It's great -- extremely lightweight, waterproof (beads and runs off the surface), and folds into a small bundles. It also can be washed in a washing machine, which I've done three or four times already. I recommend it highly.

I have a Noah cover from Wolf Automotive (They used my car as the pattern) Fits real snug and give great protection. I also have a Evolution 4 fabric cover for my Expedition. It's four layer and heaver. Both work great and are made for outdoor use (unlike the factory cover). You can get info on the Wolf covers by visiting:

http://www.wolfautomotive.com/

They also offer a bra, one piece mats, dash cover, and sell the Miata Roll to protect the rear window. I use this evertime I put the top down.

(No I don't work for them)

Furio G,

Ordered it here: http://www.properautocare.com/weatcusfitco.html, but I think it can be had for less money elsewhere.

Howdy folks,

Just wanted to butt in and let you know we do the custom fitted WeatherShield cover for your S2000 at $225.00, or Noah at $150.00 (including shipping in the U.S.) if any of you are interested.

I don't yet have these in my online store, but if you have any questions feel free to call or email us.

Thanks!
Rob
