It's $201.50 here and I'm pretty sure Tim doesn't charge any shipping.

Is there a reason it must be "genuine"?

I got one for Autoanything.com (Multibond Cover). It's custom fit for the car, plus they have ones that are much thicker than the "genuine" cover.

I was thinking the "Genuine Acura" has a better material. I never seen or felt one in person, but from the picture it looks like it wont dig into the paint and fits the car like a glove....

Just curious if you ever picked up a car cover and which one you went with. I'm interested in an outdoor cover as well. The Autoanything.com (Multibond Cover) suggested by kjelly is an indoor cover.

I didnt get to pick up a cover since I have been using the car more often lately, and would just hate to cover the car for a day then use it the next. Ive heard of NOAH brands that are around that price range, which seem to be go good. I think I might get a garage next year....poor baby is getting rained on and the dirt has been the TL best friend lately...

I bought a custom fit cover for my 996 at www.carcoversdirect.com. Was very pleased with the price, quality of cover, and service.

Try SAMS online. They have car covers pretty cheap $ 36 + shipping. I am not sure about in-door use or out-door use variety it is.

Hey guys...be carefulll using car covers. I've been using them for years, but I never put the cover on a dirty car, since I learned long ago that they will do more damage than good if not used properly. Same goes for a bra.....I've ruined paint using a bra on one of my previous TL's because of moisture and grit under the bra. Just be carefull...that's all....I've made mistakes and don't want anyone else to suffer.
