Mario, put in "currency exchange calculator" in your web browser search bar. There are a ton of real time calculators. FYI. I am going back to visit Europe in about a month. Currently the Euro has moved away from pairity to the Dollar, and the Euro is now stronger against the Dollar: ie, 1.00 Euro equals 1.13006 dollars. So take the Euro price and mulitply by 1.13006 to get the USD price. Cheers | ||

Bob, This is perfect! Just what I was looking for. I bought a cover like this for my 355 from E-bay. The seller informed me it will fit my car because it came from her 348. I got the cover and the nose has approximately 6 inches too much material. Basically, it doesn't fit. Long story short, it is for a 550. So, i'm trying to send it back and I'll order one from the source. Do you know how long it takes to get one of these? | ||

Mario, it depends on the application. If you want an indoor cover, I think the best looking (red) are the factory covers with the Prancing Horse. They are made by this company: http://www.covercar.com/html_ing/ing_index.htm Click on "Car Cover", then click on "Class" Series. Last I heard, they'll put the logos on the covers and you can order direct. I think they're about $250. If you go thru a dealer, the same cover will probably run you $500 (that sounds right, about a 100% mark-up  ) Now if you need a cover for outside apps, this aint the one. | ||

what ever you do dont use the guy that was referenced below with the email address of "[email protected]" unless your are prepared to wait 6 months. he told me two weeks and then every week after that he had another story on why it wanst there. I will never buy anything from this guy, in my experience he lied to me over and over and over. | ||

Tom -- Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Actually, when I first got my TR cover it was a little on the large side, but now that it's been inadvertantely caught in a few showers (and been dried) it fits very well. Hopefully they use your feedback to improve their F355 fit (unless it was just a manufacturing screw-up). | ||

Steve, I recently bought a cover for my 355B from CA Car Cover. It was too small...the bottom 2 inches of the car was exposed. When I called to complain, they said they would happily add a couple of inches to the cover if I would return it. I thought they were kidding, but they weren't. I returned it for a refund and went elsewhere. No problems with the return though. | ||

Mario -- This is like floormats  . You've really got to define your wants/needs/usage because you can spend $60 or $600. I prefer a fitted, flannel-lined cover with mirror pockets for dry indoor and dry outdoor use in a non-flashy color so I've been using the gray Plushweave from California Car Cover: http://www.calcarcover.com/car_cover_select.asp for about $150~$200 IIRC. Stays on in the CO wind and really gives surprising protection from "keys"/emblem stealing/window palm prints/etc.. | ||

I'll jump on board and say Nextec covers are awesome! I started with a Noah but I wanted a cover I could wash regularly in the washing machine and that provided near 100% water protection, so I went with the Nextec fabric. I got my friend one, they're THAT good vs rain, dust, leaves, UV.. but they aren't multi-ply and heavy like the Noah, which is good vs door dings. Sunny | ||

Mario, I have in stock F355 Covers that are made by Covercraft. They run in the $300 range and unlike the $600 factory ones can be used outside as well. Email me @ [email protected] EDIT---Prices have changed... Nextec Car Covers are $275 and Noah Car Covers are $225 if I have them avaliable for your car. FYI- I have them for different models. | ||

Mario: You can buy them from the dealer, but those are the bright red, yellow (matches car) which tell everyone what's underneath. When I go out with the 355, I used the old cover from my 348 which fits pretty well, and its plain tan. You can't tell what's underneath, and that's just fine by me. In my garage, I use the better fitting factory cover, which is bright red. Art | ||

Ok...i'm 30 million questions..that's what you get from me...ask Martin. So, I bought a cover that used to be on a 348...(I was told it will fit my 355) The cover fits...but not that great. There is too much material on the front nose (it hits the ground) and the mirrow pockets don't have enough material so the rear part of the cover is too tight. It pretty much looks like a women with too tight pants for her rear end and a shirt that is too long to cover her chest. Where do I get the right one? |
