50th Anniversary OUTDOOR Car Cover Review

I just ordered a 2017 was considering the 50th Outdoor Car cover...I haev a few days before its locked in and it wont result in delays... I just dont want to order something without having an idea of the quality and if it can stand up to lots of rain... since I am often in the Pacific Northwest...


Looks killer... just want to be sure its a quality item...


Thanks in advance for any input you guys can give me in making a decision...

I know alot of the Cover Craft HD series can dry out cars quite well... I have to leave for days on end so I plan on hosing down the car at the hanger if its raining so that when I put the car cover on its relatively clean and will dry underneath an Cover Craft HD...

I was going to try and get my dealer to give me an outdoor cover for free when I pick up the car. They gave me no break in the price saying it was a special model bs. So i figure lemme at least get SOMETHING out of them!

I'm interested to know how the covers look/feel or if anyone using a different cover

The aftermarket covers (at least the two I tried) did not fit over the front splitter on the Fifty.

GOOD POINT because my 1LE will have the same front splitter...

Hoping to hear back sooner that later on the car cover quality....

Outdoor car covers are a bad idea.

The sides act as air pumps and force particles across the paint. No matter how tight you think the edges are, dirt/dust will get in and you will wind up with tiny, 1/2-1" scratches all across your paint.

If you can't garage it, cover it by any method that does not allow the cover to come in contact with the car.

I learned this lesson the hard way.
