Ive seen some types of covers have a different cover for the Z over the base coupe leading me to believe they are fitted. Just looking for a fitted cover for indoor use. Anyone have any reccomendations?

Time to cover her up soon.. although it will come off many times for some upgrades over the winter :-)

California Car Cover is my choice........The Custom Weave is for Indoor Use but very soft and slides perfectly around top of ZR-1 with absolutely NO scratching when installing....fits nice and snug all around and you can Personalize as you like :thumbsup:

ZR-1 Custom Weave Car Cover (http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_materials.aspx?cname=All&ct=Both#) Just Select Your Car and Color.

And Shrek's Shed for my choice of Sheds :D

What is the tire/wheel combo and Mfr? And is the car lowered or just the wheel/tire combo? I'm not really one for lowlow profile tires - but that car is SWEET set up like that! =D>

Thx everyone for the input. On one hand I fell like spending the $$ but there's not much guarantee for fit. Because the car is in an insulated garage and it's relatively dust free I know I don't need anything super special :/ decisions decisions..

The centers are HREs I built and refinished the wheels myself :) car is really low .. No bumpstops in the back and there's about 1/2" travel left. Car won't cross a speed bump or a slight incline on driveways etc without rubbing the exhaust . If I don't see a raised bump in the road it'll probably tear my oil pan right off :) I love it!

Never hurts to keep them covered! Even in a climate controlled environment.

Just when I thought that shop couldn't get any better....:notworthy

I would take a pic of my cover that I linked you to - but there is a pile of parts for the car all over it right now and I would be embarrassed :p It does fit well and is very serviceable for the price..

I need a new cover, I bought one in 1992 for my Firebird I had at the time (it is an outdoor cover) that I use on my vette(s) first the 89 and now my Z, it is a bit big but it works, I think it is an Evolution 3 or something (it has been a long time)
