    Custom car cover

    Does Nissan still make an OEM 1988 car cover?

    Does anybody know who makes a nice custom fit car cover that won't fly off?

    Covercraft is a good brand .. quite a few places (google it) offer a custom cover for the z31.

    I purchased a "Evolution" a few years (5yrs) ago. Cover's holding up great ..

    I got curious as to what current pricing would be .. not bad?

    Thanks for the info. How's the fit?
    Do you park it outside or in the garage with the cover on?
    I park my Z under a carport so I need something that'll hold up.

    Fit is good .. the mirror pockets, and elastic along the front and rear help in a strong breeze, but I wouldn't trust it (by it self) on a windy day.

    I recommend taking advantage lock option .. grommets (1 each side) used for a cable that goes under the car to secure the car cover .. on to the car.

    I use the cover mostly inside the garage, but it's made for outside .. for when I travel to shows and I have to leave it in hotel/motel parking lots (vs garages). I only go to shows, where I need to leave the car outside overnight maybe 1x or 2x per year, so thats probably the reason my cover has lasted so long. The elements .. wind, rain, sun can take its toll. There are covers designed for heavy outdoor use. The link I provided should help identify the various covers.
