S2000 Car Covers?

I store my car in my garage. It is not an everyday driver. I want a cover to keep the dust off of it during the winter months in the garage. The factory OEM covers from Honda are about $170.00. On eBay there are several knock off covers for around $35.00. If I am not storing it outside, does anybody have any recommendations? Is the factory cover worth it, or is it just high priced? Any suggestions on a good brand or a good experience somebody has had would greatly be appreciated.

my opinion, and it's only an opinion, would be to spend the dough and get the factory cover. it'll fit right, look good, and it's Honda. If there's ever a problem you can go after 'em. I've heard a lot of nightmare stories about cheap car covers...granted most of the time they were in reference to outdoor-stored cars.

i wish i had a garage.

Like I said, it primarily concerned outdoor car covers - but cheap car covers sometime don't 'breathe' well. If moisture gets trapped between the cover and the finish of your car, stains, mold, etc. can get trapped in there and cause paint problems.

I see what you mean
I drive my car only twice or 3 times a week and before I drive I get my car washed in Sonax every month they use a new sponage only for my car (honestly I bring my own sponage)
I cover my car when it is shining without any moisture between the car and cover
so I don't think there will be any problem
soon I will order the honda cover but it is 166dolar and when it comes to my country it wil cost around 250 dolars shipping and taxes included
