Not sure if anyone else is having trouble finding a good Gen III cover, but I read somewhere that a C7 vette cover fits the Coupe well. I wasn't sure if it was true for all generations, and couldn't find any specific links to ones that people recommended, so I just took guess and ordered one from Amazon that looked like it had good reviews. Turns out the measurements are pretty damn spot on (for zero effort), and the price and quality are very right. Hope this helps if anyone else is looking for one!

That fit looks good. And a decent price too. Another option for those who may be looking, I worked with Car Cover World to fit my Gen 3 Coupe. They have a worksheet with a bunch of measurements that I completed and then they produced the cover. I had to pay a custom setup charge. But the design should be available for others. More expensive at around $400. That was for the Weathershield HP car cover, storage bag, cable lock, plus $35 design fee. I'm happy with the fit and had great luck with this same cover material on my Roadsters. They provided mirror pockets for my Pete Brock mirrors. But I had to place them. Pictures here: (mirrors and mirror pockets not in these pictures...)

Thanks for sharing, that looks like a great fit! Although the gen II is a bit different in size I would guess they aren't too different.
May just give that a try.

Damn that’s a great fit. I got a California Car Covers one for Christmas at twice that price. Fantastic find! Thanks for sharing I wish I had known.

Glad I could help! One more detail: if you didn't notice, there is plenty of extra room in the side-mirror pockets— they are way oversized for the vintage style mirrors— so you shouldn't have any problem if you have mirrors with longer stalks.
