Robocop2310 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, I’m going to start doing a new post-grad course for work so will have less time to drive my cars so will have to give them a good service/clean then store away in the garage for a while. I have never owned a car cover but thought I’d take this opportunity to get nice custom GTR ones like the below photos but it seems only R35 GTR ones are available? Does anyone know where to order them from, prices and do they last? Cheers!

Robocop2310 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Anyone? Surely someone has one of these covers?

Leroy Peterson Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 People do custom covers... But you gotta measure it yourself. Havent seen any 33GTR specific covers.

GTSBoy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 For indoor storage some old sheets are all that's required. As if spending money on custom car covers. Set fire to a pile of $20 notes.

Leroy Peterson Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Because they claim it leaves scratches, no matter the quality or material. Mainly because dirt and debris often cling to the inside and scratches paint when removing/applying. My paint is far from perfect so I don't really notice it or put on the cover too often anyway.Sheets could do, if you can bothered to sow and cut them to shape, otherwise: edges would touch the ground and get dirty, need to remove/apply multiple sheets, get blown off with wind.

Interesting concept. I guess if the cover itself is dirty or has dirt and rock particles stuck to it, this could in turn attach the car. Appreciate tre info.
