Need a car cover for CL-S

I am moving out of the house and I will no longer have a garage for my car. I was thinking about getting a car cover. Anyone know where I can get one ??? Thanks

You can either go for the Acura cover, but that would cost a lot...but it would fit really nice.

I ended up using an old one which I bought for my '98 GSR (it was still slightly big for that car) and the cover fit fine for my '03 CLS. I bought it from Costco...it was cheap (like $30 or $40) and does the job for me. I think the manufacturer is Wolfe or something like that.

Well, I'm living in an apartment now with no garage so I did the same thing... went out and bought a car cover...

I got mine from www.calcarcover.com

Service was good.... took a little over a week to come.. but that's b/c I had it embroidered Anyway, it fits the car like a glove. They even go so far as to ask you what exterior mods you have so they can change it to make it fit better. I have the Stormweave cover and so far so good!!

I only use them when my car is clean. If it's dirty, I do not cover it as the dirt can scratch the finish regardless of what kind of cover you use.

There have been times where I've used the cover for 2 weeks straight. It takes about 2-3 min. to put the cover on and take it off... if that. It's really easy.

Just put it on... then when you take it off, you unhook the front and rear, flip the sides up onto the roof, and fold it from back to front. To put it on.... just unfold it from front to back, pull down the sides, and tuck the corners..... simple....

I just got the price for a geniune acura cover for the CL and it is $180 from A&H motor. How much did you pay for yours? I need one for all - seasons. I am working out of town so I will need to cover it for a week or two at a time. I am so pissed about not having a garage anymore, it was key. Thanks for the info !

Do you know how it compares to the geniune acura one? Considering they are both around the same price. I will look into the one you have. Is it good for snow? The lock sounds good too, if i am spending the money - i dont want some stupid kids stealing it.

I got the Acura one. It fits real nice. Only used it once. I paid $180 from A&H Motor. The only reason I got it was because work was giving me $100 for a cover. I drive my truck to work, it does not need a cover. My car stays in the garage. I only use the cover if I go somewhere for the weekend without a good place to park.

Try the Noah cover. They're an excellent all-weather cover. It's around $150-200 too. They're often regarded as the best cover you can buy. Only downfall is that the color is a pale grey. Sort of yucky if you like the blue covers. Later.
