    Default Car cover for the G8

    I'm looking for an indoor car cover. I'm most concerned with dust accumulation. It will NOT be used outdoors.

    What covers have you used or currently use?

    Thanks!

    I have two sateen Coverking covers that are used for exactly the same reason as you op. They fit great on the car and show off the great lines of the car even when she's covered.

    Covers cause more paint issues than they resolve IMO. It's easier to let it get dusty and then wash it in the spring IMO. I leave mine uncovered.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!
