So, the first time I drove my car to work, I was paranoid about birds sitting on the windshield and leaving spots on my seats... Even one of my coworkers mentioned that I had birds hanging around the car... So, I started looking for a quick, easy car cover. I ran across these guys on Amazon and bought the C14 size (designed for the BMW Z4, Honda S2000, and Porsche Boxster). It seems like it'll do the job and it's easily removable and I think it'll fit behind my seat.

I like the idea, but $75 for a partial cover seems a bit high to me.

Cool. I like it, especially since it seems pretty quick to whip on and go without having to fiddle too much (what, like 2min?).
Meh, $75 doesn't seem that high.

Best,

Great find. Added to my Amazon "wish list" for when the time comes. $75 does seem a bit steep for the size of it, but based on the pictures, it looks convenient and it's nice that it won't take up much space when not in use.

I did see that they have a Corvette version as well which I assume is slightly larger. Jerome - is this thing stretched to the max where an extra little bit might help, or you think it's about right? Tough to be certain without actually being the person who installed it. Thanks again!

I think it fits fine, and it's supposed to be pretty tight. I would imagine a few inches on the front width would help a bit, though...
