Any of the "evolution III" covers are excellent. They have the ability to "breath" and are about as scratch resistant as possible.

Try looking into California Car Covers

Hmmm.... forget the evolution III stuff. Check out this link:

Cee el es,
My cover is made by Covercraft in Oaklahoma.
405-238-9651. It is the newest breathable weather resistant material called N.O.A.H.. I have had it in rain, wind, etc., and been very pleased with the performance. It is custom fit for our car, part # C16106NH

P.S. can't remember exactly, but approx. 120-130.

Go for the outdoor car bubble. It surrounds your car but never touches it. Looks great.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

I have an EVO III and love it! No scratches keeps it clean and even repels the H2O. Car is pretty dry even after it rains. I don't need a sunshade because it protects well agains the UV rays.

I went down to wal-mart and bought one last year. It was breathable, and repeled water but is a pain in the ass to put on because of the elastic cord at the bottom. I have to run around the car trying to put the cover on, because it keeps shooting like a big rubber band. I don't know if the OEM Acura one has that or not. But try to find one that doesn't. I rarely use mine now, just because I hate putting it on.

Considering that we live in that Bay..that's a good investment...but, use the same trick my friend uses...get an extra large cover and roll your front or back tire over the cover to keep someone from stealing it. Kids will steal anything that isn't bolted down and superglued.
