Nope but do you ever drive in Indiana or KY on the 275 loop or US 50?

I've never owned a car cover before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but 2 weeks ago I put my car away for the winter and used the Covercraft DUST TOP for the first time. The cover fits well and is very soft. I'm assuming you'll be using it indoors only? It was really easy to put on and the mirror pockets fit perfectly. I was also looking at a satin stretch type of cover but went with the DUST TOP because it's thick enough to provide some minor protection other than keeping the dust off of the car.

I just purchased a covercraft tan flannel indoor car cover. I like it over the factory car cover because of the soft inside. I dont know if it will 100% stop all the dust, but I am happy with it.

if your car is going to be INSIDE all the time....the best thing to do is first wash it so its totally clean.....go and buy 4 full sized cotton bed sheets. have them sewn together, washe them.....put them on the car.....soft as a babbies butt.....and is inexpensive.

I ordered the Dust Top today, we shall see!

After some time passed, I grew less fond my GM car cover...

But my car is always stored indoors, so hopefully this will much better suit my needs!

I was rather dissapointed to find that Covercraft does not make the Form Fit cover for the camaro. However, they do make it for the chevy impala, that's unusual.

I have the covercraft dust top car cover for my camaro, I think its excellent. The dust top gives great dust and dent protection. Mine fits the car like a glove (meaning its not a universal cover, but was made specifically for the camaro). The mirror pockets and even xm antenna pocket line up perfectly. I've also owned the covercraft evolution (for indoor/outdoor) and the gm cover. I sold the evolution cause it was a universal cover and was slightly too small. I thought the gm cover was hard and like plastic, not to mention way overpriced so I returned it.

In my opinion, the dust top is by far the best bang for the buck for indoor storage.

Covercraft makes some of the best covers sold today. One of the main perks of a Covercraft cover is that they are made in the USA, a thing that cannot be said about most other covers, including the crappy GM cover. You have made an excellent choice in purchasing one. I have one for my garaged baby too. Notice how snug the fit is (that's the storage bag hanging on the mirror). It's not a one piece cover. It has been sewn together so that the seams fit the contours of the car.

that looks like an awesome cover, I have to check if they have one for my 88 IROC.

Hey Junkman, what do you think about the Form Fit car covers from Covercraft?

Covercraft promptly replied to my email and infomed me that they can and have in fact produced a form fit cover for the 5th gen camaros.

I'd definitely go with the bedsheets. If you're just keeping dust off, I don't see why you'd pay for a cover.

That's what you see on my car in that picture. I caught it on sale for around $140. Definitely worth the money when you look at how much the car cost. I mean, we aren't covering Toyota's here.

Because bedsheets are not designed to do what this car cover is designed to do. This repells not only dust but water as well. It also breaths, which allows moisture to escape and not get trapped against the paint and the cover. Bed sheets don't do that. If you unknowingly spill something on your bed sheets, there's no telling what discoloration damage might happen to that spot on the car. Also, if you wash and cover the car, moisture could become trapped under your bed sheets. Not a chance that I would take with my Camaro.

Maybe my Toyota...

Why does it work better than a sheet though? I mean it can't be softer.. true it's form fitting but I don't think a lot of dust is going to creep up from the bottom where the sheet drapes... Am I missing something?
