    I've been attempting to find a factory cover for the 575 I recently bought and have been told by the few dealers I've spoken with that those are not made anymore and the only thing they have are showroom covers. Those are $600 or so. The parts guy I spoke with wasn't sure if the 599 or F12 cover would fit so I figured I would ask on here if they would bc I really would like a factory cover for the car and it seems like the only one I could possibly get is $900 or so on ebay and would come from australia and take time. Im headed out of town for a cruise for a few weeks christmas/new year and id like to get it covered up before then.

    If that doesn't work are there any covers you gentlemen recommend? Thank you

    Ha! so thats a yes??? In all seriousness I can't find anything online about the lengths of the hoods and if it would work. Is the showroom cover a viable option? That is available at $600 but Id rather if its a little more get a real f12 or 599 cover if they'd cover the vehicle. It's a shame Ferrari wont go back and make a 575 cover for a customer who wants/needs one. I imagine its not too difficult to make a cover. Im finding out Ferrari is not like traditional automakers. There are a couple tiny nicks on my mirrors on the bottom and I wanted a bottle of touchup paint and was told the dealer does not do touchup paint either.

    it does fit.... the 430 cover also fits on a 308gt4.....

    but you might as well save yourself some money and buy aftermarket........ and keep an eye out for a factory cover

    Thanks for the reply henry, which one fits better, the 599 cover or the F12 cover, Im looking for hood dimensions online but cant seem to find anything. I do see some aftermarket ones that are fairly cheap, but they're ugly, I want to get a nice ferrari cover haha

    i have not tried the f12 but you can find some pretty nice aftermarket covers out there. the f car cover really isnt anything special outside of it being factory.

    The F12 is smaller than the 599 and I believe larger than a Maranello. All similar designs with 12 cyl out front. If you are close to a dealer go down and measure. The California cover may even work. Fcar covers are on the large size. Found two California covers and a F12 cover used on eBay for about $500. With patience a Maranello cover will show. You can buy a nice used C6 Corvette factory cover that will fit tight for $100 to get you through if you can live with that. Just a couple thoughts.

    Ok so I found the dimensions online

    575 - 179″ L x 76″ W x 50″ H

    California - 180″ L x 75″ W x 52″ H

    F12 - 182″ L x 77″ W x 50″ H

    So I found both F12 and California covers online, looking at those dimensions, it seems like the california would be the better option for me to buy right? Or would you go ahead and get the F12 cover?

    I’d take my chances with the F12 as it has the 12 cyl up front meaning the hood likely is longer and more similar to the Maranello. That’s taking into account that the covers are still possibly custom fit.

    I’d try Tom Vail’s, they recently found an NOS cover for my 456M.
    If one for your car is out there, they’ll find it.
    Eurospares is usually pretty good at finding stuff as well.

    Let us know how you make out. The advice of Eurospares is always good and worth a call.
    Shipping from them (UK) isn't too bad and relatively quick if the price is right. They used to have a good price on new covers.

    Looking around at pics online the california cover says california on it, does the F12 one say F12 on it? I cant find pics, I just wanted the classic red cover with horse on it.

    I’m not sure why you’re finding it hard to buy these. Here are 2 more in addition to the one I posted above. One of these is a US seller

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162795341437

    And by the way, I have sent plenty of stuff to the US. Takes less than 5days, faster if you pay for express shipping, so no issue there

    I got the F12 cover for $500 and it fits just fine, it looks great actually, no sense in paying for a 575 cover at $800-1000 bucks
