Put it on once. Didn't even drive with it on the car. So i guess I have never used it.

Mine doesn't fit too well and lifts after hitting the first bump in the road. The clips do not fit under the lip and I have tried to but grip tape on them to see if it works.

It doesn't so i leave it off.

Have done 135 mph without it on and everything was fine so it will probably stay in the garage!

After owning a MR2 Spyder with its ingenius self tonneau cover, looking at an S2000 with one on makes it appear as though a dead body is buried under that monstrosity. Mine is sitting atop the vacuum cleaner in my closet, still packaged like new. This is the ONE design element of the car that really needs some work.

Once it warms up in Texas the top is down and the boot cover comes out. I put a car cover on when I park it at work. I feel the boot cover gives the car a more "finished" look. IMHO.

I thought the tonneau cover project is still in progress and unfinished (see this thread by Luder94 on the Tonneau Cover Update). Actually since you brought up the subject, it may be time for someone to poke Luder94 to get another update on the status of the project.

If the snaps weren't a PITA, I would use it more. I use it maybe once a week or two.

Why you gotta make it sound so creepy?

I've used mine about 3 times. It's such a pain to install (mostly just time consuming) and the two tabs keep popping out while driving (I haven't had the TSB done to lower the height of the top when folded). My cover is the post-recall version and now sits in its original plastic bag in my closet.

Even if I had the TSB done on the top, I probably still wouldn't use the cover just because its inconvenient and takes up too much trunk space (especially considering I keep my Honda car cover in their when not in use).

I used mine for the first time this weekend, and boy was I glad I did. We had our first run as the Allegheny S2000 club, and needless to say the leader of the run better known as REV RUN had us on a one mile stretch of dirt road that looked like an abandon logging trail to use someone else's words. The cover did a magnificent job of keeping the dust out of that part of the car. The rest of the car was a mess. However, it gave me an excuse to detail clean my car. Not that I need an excuse to clean my car. Just ask my wife! HaHa!
