car cover

Can anyone suggest a good quality car cover for the 8? I'm in Florida....strong sun, high humidity. No garage. Thanks for the help.

I like my custom cover made of Sunbrella by Covercraft. Beautiful custom fit. Nice material. Grey color (but there are other choices.) Rolls up easily and fits nicely in the trunk with plenty of room to spare. Part #C16540D4. Its on the high end of the price range at about $260 US online.

I bought I cover at Wal-Mart. Its fits perfect. I use it every day. I loop it in(around) the spare tire handle in the trunk so the rear of the cover is always anchored to the trunk. It comes out the same way every time. I put it on by myself in less than a minute. It cost $56.00. YOUR CHOICE!

Costco sells one similar to the Wolf 300 series for around $38. Last year the boxes were marked Wolf 300 series, this year the box looks the same, but does not say Wolf on it.

The medium size is spec'd to fit cars up to 15' and the RX-8 is spec'd to be 14'6.3". I need to wash my car, so I have not tried it on yet.

I bought a Weathershield cover. It's lightweight and admirably weatherproof, and it takes up next to no space in the trunk. I think you can find them for around $200 (I got mine at AJ-USA.) The only problem I would note is that the cover is so light that even a light breeze can catch it when you're putting it on or taking it off. It's much easier with two people. Other than that, it has performed very well.
