The OEM cover is nice for indoor storage and worth the money, but hardtopguy has it for less than 2 bills. Don't use the Pep boys one.

why not use the pep boy one. I got a waterproof pep boy one from my buddy for $30 and it kept the car perfectly dry and has nice flaps for breathing. Sure its a cheap cover and so is the price I paid for it. I also have the oem cover and use it for dry times in the sun or as a dust cover at home.

The pep boys one is better than nothing right? i don't store my S. i drive it daily. my parking is
not indoor or garaged. why is the OEM better for indoor use? maybe i will buy a cheap one
and next month buy an OEM one. i can really afford more than a bill right now. even a bill is
hurting my pockets. i have my first payment due this april, so i have to conserve for about 6 months. that means no mods for me for a while.

i really want some cool wheels. are good wheels like a grand each? i can't believe the stock wheels are $500 bucks.

the oem cover is expensive and only single purpose as its not waterproof and doesn't even roll up that small. I think california car cover sells a nice one that ios waterproof, rollos up small but is close to $200. get the cheap one as it will definitely last at least one season in the sun but it will fill up your trunk.

I got one from Coastal Metals in a recent gb. I'm happy with it. it's perfect for outdoor protection-- a bit rugged, silvery to reflect sunlight, and even has a couple holes for a cable lock (not included). and it fits the s2000 perfectly, even has a little "condom" for the radio antenna.

I think I paid between $130 and $150 for it.

look for a gb by axcilla for these.
