well, waddya need from the cover?
indoor?
outdoor?

theres a coupla good ones to pick from.
i have a covercraft on a mustang that sits outdoors all the time, and it does a great job, and it rains here a bunch.
i bought a cheapo budge to cover my chally indoors, and in the body shop, all the while being subjected to dust, and overspray, it seems to be awesome.

both were under 100 bucks.
like i said, it all boils down to your personal needs.
hope this helped.

I had an expensive 'tan flannel' Covercraft that lasted about 3 years in the Nevada sun before disintegrating.  I had Covercraft's cheaper one before that (can't recall the name) and it was toast after one summer.  But thats full outdoors Las Vegas sunshine beating down, consuming all soft materials before it (like my car's interior...).

They had just come out with a new poly-based material (Technalon?) that they claimed would last 7 years in the desert, couldn't tear, UV resistant, etc; cost more than the tan flannel, but I don't know how that panned out; by then the Challenger was at my Uncle's place with a canvas tarp over it (which lasted longer than any of the car covers!)

I notice that they now call Tan Flannel an 'indoor' cover.  That was not the case back then... maybe my unhappy letter  made a difference.

The stormweave from California car covers is a good one for outdoor use.
