i went to pep boys and got myself a 100% waterproof/weatherproof car cover for about $50 when i used to store my Integra outside. it worked great, but i also had the OEM Acura factory car cover used under that pep boys cover.

I found an outdoor waterproof cover at autozone for $20. It fits nicely and works great so far. I can't justify spending 150-200 for a piece of cloth.

yeah wasn't looking to spend that much, anything that'll keep it dry and not scratch.

Not scratch is the key.

The OEM car cover is super soft and will not blem the car, and fits like a glove. However, it is for indoor.

The only way to fly outdoors is an OEM cover first, then an out door cover over that. And outdoor cover, if not soft enough, will destroy the paint from moving with the wind.

Unless you can find an S2000 specific outdoor cover, that is soft on the inside.

Fork up the bucks bro, you can't be cheap and not get scratches. Ask F-1 Fanatic. He's ready to repaint his whole car because of those outdoor covers.


Just substitute (your car here) for cars other than the S2000

I had I believe the Covercraft Noah cover for about a year when I parked the car outdoors in Bayside. I think it was around $120 shipped with lock and cable on ebay. Didn't leave any scratches on my car that I noticed.

i use the covercaft weathershield with the oem soft cover combo.

works amazing and no scratches.

i bought my oem one for about $100.00 and i bought my weathershield used from daves2kli for around the same price.

i'm sure you can find deals out there like that.

the outdoor/indoor combo is the only way to go.

good luck.
