Car Cover Suggestions
Just purchased used 06 Shinka in great shape. Problem is i live in an apartment complex so she's going to spend some time outside. Any suggestions for a good car cover?

If you aren't planning on getting a bodykit including Mazdaspeed the OEM will be perfect if you are, then note that the OEM Mazda cover won't fit over the kits. OEM is really nice though, better to get one that fits to the lines of car, otherwise wind will just tear it up

Between Covercraft and California Car Cover http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_find.aspx you should be able to make the right coice. There's nothing like microfiber (the high end weather selections; e.g Superweave) for protection with breathability. Don't skimp!

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.

Not really. The OEM is pretty good but really only intended as a dust cover. Invest in a true winter cover like California Cover's Superweave. It works great for me. After the extended snow cover of last season I was amazed how pristine the paint was when I finally got a chance to take off the cover. Breathable microfiber (aka Gore-tex) is the key!
