Thumbs up Car Cover (not oem)

I got a car cover from autozone for $30. Its part cotton and I don't know what. Any how it got real dirty so I washed it 3 times on hot/cold then dryed it on delicate. Looks brand new
Just want to share my knowledge from observation.
Thoughts?

How often do you use it, & how does it fit? Snug, loose; more info gawd dammit!! I just moved & no longer have a garage, so I'll need a cover for the winter.
Thoughts?

Speaking of car covers, any that fit the car with a mazdaspeed bodykit? Obviously the OEM will not.

The one I use fits over the MS Kit. I do not have the MS Wing, but there is plenty of extra room in the back of the cover for it to fit even with the wing.

hope that helps

Oh and yeah... its the car cover from Costco. Breathable, Washable Fabric. Lock Included. Priced at $35... it might be cheaper on the mainland. I dont know.

On the box they say "M" fits the RX-8, but it doesnt if you have the MS Kit. I had to take mine back and exchange it for the "L" which fits. If you want I can take pics for you tomorrow.
