Car cover?

I'm looking to get a car cover I think? I got a new job and I have to park my car on the street. There is no cover parking its all out side in the Cali sun. So i was thinking of getting a cover since its a highly traffic street and dust and sun light. Actually I'm more worried about the sun then anything else. I do have a windshield visor but that's it.

Do you guys recommend anything? Should I invest in a car cover?

+1 on the coverking (they look good) and are realy fitted which is best so that the cover doesnt flop around in heavy wind doing more damage than protection.

Ok do they have a cut out for displaying the plate#? Cause I think its illegal to park a car on the street with out the plate showing.


@BiteEmNBeatEm I have the same body style as the car in your avatar. Does the car cover compensate for that?

I bought a coverking "coverbond 4" cover recently. I wanted it for indoor use primarily and went with a universal sedan cover as I wanted to use it for other cars in the long run. Supposedly they come with soft material on the inside to prevent scratching the paint work. So far so good.

Does anyone make a cover that just covers the greenhouse? IE the top and the windows. I would like to have something which is small enough to stuff behind a seat that would protect the cabby top and the interior from the Alabama sun.
