It depends on where you see the most use for it. Outside or inside?
Will it see lots of moisture or not?
likelihood of it being stolen?
I have two covers. One is cheap and replaced often
the other is thicker and more $.
Both can be ordered here:
http://www.the-cover-store.com/CarCoverSearchResult.aspx?Type=car&Make=CHEVROLET&Model=CORVETTE&Year=1990&index=1&Pattern=C12091&feature=ZR-1%20Coupe%20%282%20Door%29%202%20Mirror%20Pockets;
The cheap on is used outside.
The thicker more expensive one for inside. It'll last for years
and giver extra "cush" against accidental bumps.
Both are a "custom fit" so they have the little ears for the mirrors.

Coverking Satin cover is the best cover for indoor use. I have used many different covers over the years. This is why I say it is the best cover on the market IMO, My cars dont get driven a lot because of my schedule, When I do use them I clean them before my next trip if necessary than wax and but the cover on, two three four weeks later no dust, no seem marks, just like a waxed it 15 minutes ago. I have Five, Three indoor and two outdoor.

Does anyone make a car cover with the outside looking like a corvette?
Or for that matter the outside looking like any car?

I know it is an indoor cover, The only thing that I did not like about the cover was it seemed thick, When I saw it at Bloomington I was looking for a correct cover (well fitting) For my Pacecar. When I saw this cover it is custom cut so I am sure it would fit well, however it seemed like it was thick and would not breathe to me. When I asked the person at the display he did not know and he would not let me pour a little water on the one they were showing.

Well, I did the water test and it soaked right through.
The cover fits very well and is well made also.
I bought one 4 years ago for my Z and I liked it so well, I bought one
for my Grand Sport. When I remove it there is never any dust on the car,
no matter how long it's been sitting. :cheers:

Side note:
Quickest way to destroy a car cover is to wash it with soap.
Wash in plain water and it lasts decades.
I have one that's approaching 20yrs old.

It soaks thru.

But it really is an indoor cover.

On my 95, as well as the 04 and the 12, I've got California Car Cover's high-end indoor cover. What I like about them is there ability to be a very good dust barrier.
