Car covers for your FD
Whats everyone use as a cover outdoors/indoors?
My BB R1 is staying outside for awhile and I'd like to get something to cover it up.

Someone on here suggested an rx8 cover.
It has the mirror flaps which is good and its bigger so the cover hovers over/or touches the ground when its on the car.
Some covers leave like 2-3 inches of the wheels exposed so its like a bootleg tight fit. Thats the one i have now and it sucks. Im waiting for the cover to wear out like my previous covers, then im going with the rx8 one.
Its pricey though, i think 200 bucks?

been using the Summit Racing covers since I got the RX in 05. UV resistant, breathable and cheaper than CCover. No zippers, Elastic. Keeps just about everything out that you'd want.
I normally don't tie it down just use the elastic bands to keep it in place. Can resist small amounts of wind. If you live in a breezy area, then you'll need to tie it down.

I also use one on my 1970 Dodge Superbee back in Tennessee. It's been under one for about 15 years now.

I have a california car cover for mine. However, strong caution: unless the car is absolutely spotless clean, wind will flap the cover and abrade the clearcoat right off. I added a couple of tie down straps to mine and a strong wind can still flap it. I would be willing to bet that on a dry windy day the dirt will get carried in anyhow.
