Default Affordable S2000 Car Cover?

Just curious if anyone had experiences with those car covers on ebay. I just did a quick search and some are around $40. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...cover&_sacat=0


I really don't want to pay over a hundred for a cover but then again I don't want to end up getting something that will scratch my car.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

to be honest the oem honda cover is excellent and super super soft on the inside, if your using the car cover indoors def pay a little more and get the honda one and dont look back!

You pay for what you get. OEM covers are good if stored inside. Noah is good for outside. Cheap covers can be only one layer of cotton that do nothing more than lie on top of your car. A cover should block a good percentage of the sun's rays from hitting the car and should be a light color. A good cover should also be breathable (not trap moisture between the car and the cover). In my opinion, spending $100 on a cover is a good start. Cheap covers are not worth any price.

I agree...

The one from science of speed is $200 but worth every penny it seems. It has pockets for the mirror and antanna and its breathable/multi layered.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll look into that Noah one. The car will have to be stored outside unfortunately so I need something durable. Where is the best place to buy them?

Vik, spend a little more...a $300 car cover is way cheaper than fixing the scratches a cheaper one could cause and having to walk out every morning and look at them I know personally would tick me off! A new paint job would be way more than $300.

I have the Covercraft Weathertech HP. I am VERY picky about my car and I couldn't be happier with this cover!

+1 for Covercraft. Don't overlook existing threads on the topic.

Went ahead and bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00

Hopefully it's the right one.
