    Best car cover for garaged Spyder ?

    Interested in opinions on best cover for a garaged Spyder. Does Griot's make custom covers? Anybody have the "Touchless Car Cover" that looks like a bear to wrestle? Your thoughts??

    Black one is actually a cover for another model, but it fits the R8 very well. Doesn't hug the body as tightly, won't show dirt or tire polish and drapes to the ground all around...

    I have the Audi soft indoor car cover in black specifically made for the R8 and it's really nice with a soft lining like a soft jumper for the car to wear. Admittedly I'm not using it on a Spyder but it should work on one.

    Just like this item:

    I have the red one but this seems like it would be easier to put on/take off, what is the price?

    I have this fleece onehere which is very soft, and competitively priced at $279. It fits very nicely, nearly all the way down to the ground without actually gathering on the ground.
