Car covers

I've already searched but can't find what I'm looking for.
Has anyone used one of the gen 6 GM car covers for indoor use? I had the black ZL1 indoor cover for my 5th gen and I foolishly sold it with the car.
The outdoor cover looked nice, but is it fleece lined like the indoor one? Are there graphics on all of them? Since it's a 2017 I'm getting, the FIFTY cover may even work. Anyone used that one or the red indoor one?
Any pics or info would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is the one I picked up...

Fit and finish are perfect. Fleece type (very micro fiber-ish) inner liner. Only downfall to this cover, for me, was the time it took to get it - I guess they are made to order.

I think so....I will double check when I get home form work....I could be wrong... I have the OEM black outdoor cover on my '16 vert..... I can shoot some pics of that if you need.....and check for a liner in that one also... I have five cars covered right now.... hard to remember which covers have liners.....

Thanks HyperBlue!
I really like the ZL1 specific cover. The 5th gen had more options. There were 2 outdoor and 1 indoor that were ZL1 specific. This time it's just one outdoor. They also have 2 different "Fifty" covers which sort of apply to us.

This cover does not have a lining inside. I have this cover and really like the way it looks. The graphics aren't over the top and add a really nice visual touch, however, there are a few problems with it:

It's an outdoor cover but if it rains, water collects in two areas: on the trunk because the spoiler is higher than the trunk and doesn't run off and on the heat extractor gap between the insert and the hood. Not a big deal but annoying. The cover is extremely hydrophobic and otherwise water just rolls off. If you plan on using it for an indoor only cover, not a problem.

The other issue which is a bit more annoying is that because it's a tight, custom fit, the cover rubs against the paint between the doors and the roof; specifically toward the back by the rear windshield. I noticed it when I was washing my car and had to get it corrected. I don't ever put the cover on when the car is even remotely dirty/dusty so to be honest I can't really confirm this issue. The detail shop hypothesized that it was the most likely culprit.

Hope this helps!

Cover craft is what I have, it's a very very nice cover. Was not cheap though.

Thanks for the info on the lining. Leaning towards one of the indoor covers. Wish I had kept the one I already had. Doh!

Cover craft makes good covers. Most automakers use them and license them as their own. For example, the ZL1 cover is made by CoverKing.

Which one do you have from Cover Craft? I have a Noah fabric cover, which I like because it's multi layer with a soft lining and it protects against dings. What I sort of don't like about it is that it seems to leave residue on the paint, especially if it gets wet.

I'm looking for a new outdoor cover and am considering one of the Weathershields.

I bought the dustop, provides great protection for dings and dust.

I don't use it outside so its perfect.

I have toured their factory several times and have been pleased with their products
