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!

People do custom covers... But you gotta measure it yourself. Havent seen any 33GTR specific covers.

Do you have any reputable custom cover makers in mind? 

Cheers

Thanks mate.

Why don’t detailers suggeset covers?

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.

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.

Fair enough. Thanks mate.
