Car Covers - Covercraft Evolution or Noah?
Alright I live in socal so no snow here... i'm mainly using a car cover to conceal my car because a few months ago my car got keyed. now i'm getting the car back in a week or less with the whole thing in new paint so i like to keep it that way.
i will be "moving" from dorms to school apartments at UCI (they're pretty damn nice
).
question is i found the custom-fit acura cl evolution for $155 and the noah for $180. For $25 should i upgrade to noah. i'm pretty broke, but i need this by june 21st. i probably have to cut out the rear license plate and add a clear thing (have it sewn on) or figure out how to show my license plate.
also through my experience when it says "custom fit" usually its a universal car cover which is stated to fit a certain dimension of a car. so i need to find out if they're actually custom (which should have fitted mirror pockets).
also i have a custom 99-01 tl lip kit all around so it should add another inch all around in height.

after about 6 months i had a few very very lite scratches that buffed out.
Due to me putting it on over the car when it was filthy and wet then the dirt stuck to the fleece/felt on the inside.....
fitment its good, mine has the lock on the bottom that i secure to the tow hook in the back when i leave the car for several days....

alright since there isn't much response to car cover threads, maybe this will help someone else in the future
i come to a conclusion that a true custom car cover is not neccesary, but a good quality one is.
i bought one called premiumtech. initially i choose this brand because i can buy it from a store, it has 4 layers, gromets and a "built in" leesh that goes under the car from left to right to help hold it down.
the first size ibought was size D for my 2nd gen CL because its 15-16 feet long, it would be perfect and a very very tight fit. my car has a lip kit so it didn't fit well, thus a cl without a lip kit should use this, although it doesn't cover the sideskirts enough. 2-3 more inches wider and it would have been perfect.
so i exchanged for size e which is for 16-17.5 feet and because of the extra length of my lip kit, it covers it very well, perfect.
i got it for a discounted price of $50, but u can find some on ebay for a good price, maybe slightly used, but definately a good price of $30-40. so i do recommend this.
