Go on Autoanything.com. They have custom made covers that will work great for you. Make sure it is breathable, has a inner felt lining, and plastic eylets (that is felt backed on the inside) for locking the cover on under the car. It will even have mirror and "shark fin antenea" sewn in boot covers. Price will be around $150 that comes with storage bag. Look for multilayer quilted laminate material. I bought one for my Cooper and it fits it like a glove. The maker is Covercraft.

I found it to be better than the OEM accessory as it did not have the soft inside ligning.

Good luck!

Here is the link for the cover I bought for my cooper. I think it is worth the extra money, comes with a 4 year warranty instead of a 1 year as well and is custom fitted. http://www.autoanything.com/car-covers/60A1012A0A0.aspx

Acutally i saw today a cover with a friend. It was Technolon 2 from Covercraft. It is the older version of Evalution 4. But it is kind a heavy to carry around and time consuming to put on the car of size of TSX and rolled back quite big. I am trying to look for very light cloth that i can put very quickly and remove very quickly and put in trunk with very small folding.

Anyone know which is better: Acura's OEM car cover or one of the others you can get on the Internet like Covercraft?

I need one that is easy to get on (when running late for the train) and can cut out the punishing SoCal UV rays.

This one is for SUN protection and will be good for So Cal. Although www.budgecovers.com also produced cheaper version of same.
The best UV reduction covers will be white an light weight than those protecting from Rain/snow
