What's the material? Is it a canvas type? Or more like yoga pants? Is the backside soft?

I have a California cover for my T-Bird and it fits really well. Do they make that Motorsport cover for a Coupe?

No,

They list the below as being applicable, but I think a hatch specific cover might look a tad messy for the 83-93 convertibles. The roof profile is more coupe-like as we all know. I imagine coupe would just look a bit baggy back there.

I guess I don't have any skill at describing materials. I don't really know what canvas-type is. I'm thinking that you might call my cali cover canvas. This new motorsport cover is soft to the touch both front and back. It's like a reasonably high stitch-count cloth, but not as high as the stitch-count on the cali cover I mentioned. All of the graphics on the cover are dyed into the fabric... not like stickers that will peel or anything. The cali cover and whatever my other outdoor cover are both make water bead up on top of their fabrics whereas this absorbed water like a towel/cloth would. Kinda seems like maybe the same type of material as a shirt or some sheets/blankets but a bit thicker.

Is that answer adequate? Next time I mess with it, I'll see if there's a tag on it like how shirt tags tell you '50% cotton/50% polyester'.

It should have a tag on it somewhere that says what the materials are.

Almost sounds like the same material as a “dry fit” athletic shirt.

That’s about what my Onyx cover is like. The underside is a much softer texture to avoid scratching paint by moving it around.




It’s also a stretch fit, like yoga pants for cars. Let’s me enjoy that sexy profile even while covered up.

Ok. Definitely less canvas. More athletic wear

I've been seeing car cover posts come up in the last few days so, BUMP.

Some good choices in here depending on what you're looking for.

Are these fitted covers?


My use is really just inside a garage to keep dust off, but I find my universal cover is just too loose in places and frequently touches the ground. Many years ago I had a fitted cover that was nice and tight and did not touch the ground, and looking to pick up another one just for dust prevention. Still, seems most fitted covers are $300+ or so.

I think I got this from American muscle for $150ish. Works fine, but I'd like fitted instead




Looking for something like this without the $400+ price tag
