Car Cover ?
i'd like to know if there are any car covers specifically made for the FC (OEM perhaps?). i'd like to protect my FC from my neighbor's tree, off which millions of tiny little green leaves fall off of!!
also i'm curious to see if there are any others out there who has one...
thanks for looking

Not being a dick or anything, but why do you need one specifically for an FC? Just find one for a car our size... Nissan Sentra, Honda Civic, 240, Miata?
But I'm right with you on the leaves.. However, you live in SoCal... You are lucky and have mostly deciduous trees. I'm in Oregon... Pine needles are 'Teh Suck'. They get EVERYWHERE.
I use my Jeep Wrangler cover... sold the jeep, found the cover later... it sags like a ****.. but sinches around the bottom so it won't blow off.

right on 
well, i'm pretty sure there's "universal" ones that would do the job perfect, and i wouldn't mind getting one at all, but man, there's a nice S2000 down the street from me with a cool little car cover... shoot, the side mirrors even had it's own cover! hehe (damn new cars!
) and i just thought it would be BAD A$$ if they made covers like that for FC's...
and pine needles..... ouCH!

There is a cover made specifically for the FC. It fits the exterior contours of the car, including the mirrors, perfectly.
But anyone will work. My FC cover got destroyed but happened to have one from a '93 Camaro laying around. It does the job well, just a little loose.

I bought a fit-to-form car cover for every car I've ever owned. Including my 7's
Although I use a specific site for mine they're pricey... but they fit like a glove over every contour.
Mazdatrix sells them for cheap.

cool guys
yeah, i did some web browsing for car covers, and found that some cost over $250!!!!!!
i'm looking for something rather affordable and won't fly off the car when the wind kicks (LOL)...
those one's that would "fit the car like a glove" would be awesome... i just can't see myself paying $200+ for something like that though =/
and yeah, any pics would be nice people!!

I use NOAH CoverCraft:
http://www.autosportcatalog.com/inde...d=492&addcar=1
Trees, light ice & snow, its hell on 7 for the late fall & early spring here - rain changes to snow & ice w/in an hour
Cover is custom fit & drys quickly when i leave it balled up in the back of the Denali XL - while driving the 7 for a day

i kinda like the sound of that NOAH Covercraft cover... their website earned cool points from me after seeing that they offered a cover for those with the GTU spoiler (that's cool!). plus their price isn't toooooo too bad (compared to others)...
i'm sure nobody likes to be cheap, and i'm sure everybody's out for the best deals... but i think that any car cover that will do it's job and protect it from debri/paint deteriorating would do for me... if anyone can point me to the most affordable one, that would be nice

Mazdatrix has some nice FC covers. ~$200 though. I can take a pic if you want. I used to have a $50 cheap plastic car cover but it detoriated until it had the strength of tissue paper after just a couple months of sun. It soon tore into shreads. Those aren't for outdoor use, apparently.
