Honda Brand Car Cover or Less Expensive One?

taste9k · 11-23-2003, 11:11 AM

I'm looking for a quality car cover... but the honda dealership one is 225 dollars! I've look around a bit and found on the web that doesn't look quite as nice for 163. What is your input?

$225!!!! That's a rip off. You can buy the same OEM cover online around $160's. This is why I avoid buying any accessories from the dealers. I have the OEM dust cover for over a year. It has done its job well, even in the ice/snow when I was living in Maryland last winter. Some people prefer high-end aftermaket cover that's waterproof. The OEM cover is not waterproof , but it is very 'breathable' and dries very quickly. Try to avoid cheap cover $20-30 because some of them can scratch the finish.

Here are some of the websites that sell OEM cover and other Honda accessories.

Get the honda one it's nice, it's worth the money. Fits nice, even over the antenna. It's easy to put on(by yourself) since the mirrors have sleeves. And the inside is soft it wont scratch your paint even if your car is dusty. You get what you pay for. Ciao.
