I would suggest satin fleece for indoor use. I found one years ago made by Sparco. I dont see them anymore but it was not custom sized . I use a size S. Because they stretch you are fine with one from subaru brz/toyota gt 86, miata, etc.

Thanks
Satin is what i was looking for .
Good idea on the size since it will stretch

Which model did you get? Do you use it indoor only or indoor/outdoor? How's the fit?

WeatherShield HP. So far used it for a couple of days when I had to park the car outside. But plan is to keep it covered in garage too.
As for the fit, it nicely hugs the body, but it's not snug. Fabric on top of windshield and hood is rather loose actually.
I'll make a photo next time I cover it.

Go to California Car Cover online.

They have a variety of covers.

I purchased an outdoor cover for my Z4- Superweave All weather.

Do you have picture of it ?
Is it for a coupe or roadster ?

chickdr · 10-04-2022, 11:39 AM

I am interested as well. What is the asking price? How old is the cover?

07ImolaRot · 10-07-2022, 10:59 AM

sorry i sold it already

While this cover is sold, the OEM indoor cover fits both coupes and roadsters.

For an indoor car cover, you don't need to spend a lot. I use one for my roadster in the winter for several months. I bought one a year or so ago, and suggest you look for these features: a nice smooth surface on the underside which will not mar the paint; a general size cover, usually the "small" is all you need. Pockets for the mirrors are expensive and don't really help. An elastic band around the bottom helps it stay in place. I needed a hole for the antenna, and another hole in front for the Battery Tender wire. You don't need to spend extra time or money to search for covers with an antenna hole already in it. For those holes, I found some nice grommets on Amazon (of course) - just cut a little hole, and snap the two pieces of the grommet together to frame the hole and keep the fabric from tearing. I cannot recall where I found the not too expensive cover, but if I come across that record I'll let you all know (but don't hold your breath).
