The cable with lock goes under the car. There are padded gussets to loop through. At home, outside, in the winter I just use a bungy cord. The cover has elastic corners but in very high winds you need an under cord.

 

I've actually never used the lock but then again, I haven't had HUGE wind gusts here in SoCal

 

My mazda oem rx-8 cover is for sale. red/black color combo... it's used and slightly faded but other wise fine.

$75

 

How much extra room is there?

Will it fit with a body kit?

 

none, it's a tight fit even with the oem spoiler and apperance package.

 

razz: won't work for your car.
It's already a super tight fit with my MS wing + appearance pkg

 

waiting for piX :D

 

kainis: you want pix of the Mazda Red / Black car cover or the Noah?
I can take pics of both if you really want.

 

I was referring to rasp's cover cause I'm thinking of taking his off his hands depending on the condition. I don't care much about the faded outside as long as the inside still does a good job at protecting the car. I'd be curious as to see how the Noah cover fits if you don't mind Jedi? :D

Thanks,

kainis

 

I will take a pic of the cover but without a car to put it on, the picture is not very helpful. Nonetheless, I'll take one tonight.

 

$75 plus $15 for shipping

 

I've got one as well. Happy with every aspect of it.

And I've heard from many that the factory cover fades very quickly.

 

the factory one fades REALLY quickly ... or maybe i overused it but either way it looks shitty after a while

 

im hopeing to get the oem car cover. its weird, every one's talkin about car covers today

 

^its not that, but the threads got bumped

 

50$

 

I have a Noah RX-8 cover... I've only used it once since I bought it a year ago. I find that covers are such a pain in the *** and I'd just end up scratching it even more. I thought it was a good idea at first, but it's just a waste of $200. I have it in storage, waiting for the day I go on vacation or whenever I know I won't be driving it for awhile

edit: I have to add that the Noah cover is an excellent cover with great build quality... but just the concept of the cover doesn't appeal to me

 

i have the mazdaspeed body kit(front,sides, rear and wing).

Is the OEM car cover going to fit or not?

 

chrisis: probably will fit but VERY tight.
I had the MS wing with the appearance package and that was already a tight fit with the OEM cover.

 

thanks jedi

we will know soon

 

Selling my NOAH cover in the for sale section

 

same as above, mazdaspeed kit but not sure if the cover fits with it hopefully someone will find out soon!

 

I have the oem cover..when i got the mazdaspeed wing installed I will let you know about a months time..
