I got mine from California Car covers....fits really well and keeps the car clean. Keeps out water, UV rays (I live in Texas), dust and pretty much everything else. I'll take some pictures of it for you so you can see for yourself what it looks like. It's thing so it's light and packs up very small so it's storable too.

I got the Mazda car cover made especially for the FC. Wraps the car perfectly and has a clear plastic in the back to show the rear license plate and has "Mazda" printed on the front where it covers the front bumper. I may sell it. Any offers, anyone?

I have one that's made for an FC. Fits good with elastic around the bottom. I used it one season. I'd be willing to part with it. I can check on the make if you like and give you some more details. I figure it's worth a good 35 bucks plus whatever it would cost to ship it.

Several manufacturers make them custom for you car & model (ie vert, vert with spoiler, coupe with spoiler & areo kit, base coupe, etc..)

Actually, generic medium size should work

from just about any supplier. I bought a couple from K-Mart for about $25 each. Door mirror pockets lined up perfectly.
