Curious to see who uses car covers (what brands) and if anyone has gotten a custom one done.
This would be for outdoor use

For storage? I store indoor in the winter and I just park atop a giant tarp and wrap it up like a big present for spring.

i've been battling with this myself, trying to find the right custom cover.

Updated the OP. this would be for outdoor use

i think he means the kind that spreads right over top the car.
I dont remember the brand i bought but it was like $60 generic at auto-zone and a "medium" size. It was wayyy to big. It says fits the celica, but i should have gone with the small. And the strap downs on it would have never held down outside.
I had to make a slit by each wheel, and zip tie to the rim. After that it worked well. Completely water proof, and protected.
If your going for like a daily on and off cover i wouldnt spring for a generic one.
I would like to know if the custom one works better though

ive looked at a few places through a google search and the going rate for a custom cover can range from 200-500. Hoped to see if anyone had gone with a custom one before and how well it fit

I have a $10 "one size fits all" type of cover for when its in the garage, but when I move it down to MD with me I am going to need something alot more durable since it wont be under cover

i have one from walmart, fits poorly, and in a year its rotten

The one i have from a corvette would fit perfectly if i didn't have the spoiler (with riser blocks) on.

Hm...i bought one from walmart 3 years ago, used it during winter and summer months and still have it. Im probably going to buy a custom one once i get my frs.

Bought a nopi cover years ago and it worked very well for me. Covered the celica for years outside and kept the sun off it and paint looking great.

Buy a Bentlay car cover for your ride from the Bentley Car Accessories store.. Online no shipping price and also has a great quality I used this brand 3 years...my personal experience is very fine with this brand.. Some guys here have other good brand for the car cover..

Are you saying I should get a car cover for a Bentley....and not a Celica, the car I own?
