    I just bought (and received) a new Plushweave car cover for my TR from:

    http://www.calcarcover.com

    and wanted to give them a huge "thank you" and a strong recommendation.

    The cover itself is a good $ value IMO in any case (and works well for my dry, daytime outdoor use), but what I'm very, very happy about is that, when I ordered it using their online form, I asked if they would not print their corporate logo on it -- and they didn't! grazie!

    i've bought 4 car covers from them

    i've always been very satisfied and never had any screw ups

    they always fit very nice, and are very durable

    what color did you get ?
    i hope not red cuz it fades super quick :)

    Glad to hear you've had good experiences with them too -- it was a pleasure to use my new one this morning.

    My first one was red, and it did fade quickly outdoors (but it gave the same ~2 year life I'm getting in the CO UV). I've since used the grey for the public camouflage factor ;)

    I have 3 of their covers. The latest one which I got for the Ferrari is a NOAH fabric cover. It is really great, indoors or out. The other two are indoors only. Nice quality, fit, etc. The printed logo on them doesn't bother me. Makes it easier to find the front and put it on right side up.

    I have 3 covers for my car. One is a nice custom indoor cover made of cotton (red with embroidery Ferrari logo). Nice, but can ONLY use indoors.

    My primary cover is one from CA Car Covers which I elected to get in the tan colour. My buddy and I each have a 328 so it was important to keep the covers a different colour... his is light gray, mine is light tan. Both are great, but as the covers are NOT 100% water repellent, I opted to also get a cheapo dark gray cover from Target which cost me about $30. This water repellent cover goes OVER the CCC and I only use this if I know we are getting a lot of rain. Works great!

    I agree that the red or black colours are not the best to buy.

    P.S. The CCC's can be machine washed using a industrial sized machine and 2 cups of Fantastic or 409 as the detergent. You have to rinse the sucker a few times, but it does manage to clean well and gets softer!

    I've purchased several car covers from them along with my garage flooring. Never had any problems.

    BTW, if anyone needs an SL500 indoor car cover, pm me, I got rid of the car and would be happy to give someone the cover.
