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.
