I need to buy a car cover for my s14 but i really dont know much about them. I wanted to get an OEM one but no one really sells them. I need it to be weather proof since it will be outside all year round. I would search but i keep getting an error when i use it. If anyone has advice on which one to get or one for sale. Thanks for any help

you just buy one from autozone or where ever that matches the length of your car. thats what i did. its a little loose on the sides but it fits snug.

Car cover is worse then being exposed to weather. Traps in moisture in and rubs against paint! I say never cover it unless you have to protect from tree sap or bird poo!

The problem is that i have no cowl or wipers n its completely stripped for drifting. i dont live in the best place in the world. So having my car outside with a rollcage custom dash n what not for all to see isnt the best idea. I had it in a indoor garage but cant keep it there anymore. so now i have it in my park spot but that is an outdoor parking lot. So, minus well cover it up so it wont rust or have any water leaks.

Discussion on this?
I got a car that's been sitting for a few years and paint only
seemed to fade when it was without a car cover.
op - medium size generic one that they sell everywhere works ok
but lasts about a year before it starts to weaken from elements
cheapest I've seen them is at outlet stores and Walmart

I'm using a generic one that my wife had on a 01 Sunfire. Used it for about 9 months last year while my car was in storage just to keep the dust off. Seemed fine when I got back to it, but it was out of the elements, other than hot and cold temps. It's been under that cover again for the past year, and it will be there for another two years.
Im looking at getting one also, car gets rained, snowed, sapped and shit on alot
im jubious of the cover rubbing on the paint in the wind though

Can pick one up from Autozon / Advance / Pepboys..
Medium size fits my s14.
Make sure that it has the Elasticized bottom hem lining so it stays snug around your car. Mine does not and gets annoying when the I come home and it sometimes is off the car.

I was looking online at reviews and other forumes and seems like ppl recommend two for being very weather resistant n fits snug. The noah from cover craft and california car cover company.
i found the noah on summitracing for 152 dollars
CoverCraft CFNOAH - Covercraft NOAH Vehicle Covers - Application - SummitRacing.com (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CVC-CFNOAH/Application/?query=Make%7cNISSAN%7cModel%7c240SX%7cSubmodel%7c SE)
and
the california cover are a lot more expensive. California Car Cover Company - Find a Cover (http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_find2.aspx)
I was also looking at the ebay car armor cover, but I read they fall apart after a year. I really dont want to get a new cover every year it would get kind of expensive replacing it.
Does anyone have these covers? How are the generic brands holding up? If its all the same i dont mind getting a generic one aslong as it doesnt fall apart. I was wondering if the layers matter because i see some that are 3 to 6 layers. I am assuming the more the better, but then i can be wrong.

^ i bought a covercraft noah around a year ago for my s13 when it had to be outside shortly while moving. Cost me around 200-250
It fit like a glove and held up great in bad weather. The quality of the cover is much better than any autozone cover by far.
But honestly with any cover you decide to buy, you will still need to uncover and let the car air out after rain and other poor weather
