      +1 and worth it if you have a nice paint job.

      California car cover is the only way to go! I own several of them and I've had other brands there is no comparison...

      I run a flannel on the camaro, it's nice on the paint but does leave some flannel dust. For the z06 I got a lycra one and love it, kind of like victoria's secret for the car!

      Hey Jesse, I bought a car cover at K-mart for about $100. Not the best, but very decent quality. Go open a box and see for yourself.

      Do you need just a dust cover or an outdoor cover?

      I have had 3 California Car Covers and for 3 different cars and loved the fit and protection. They are not cheap, but well worth it IMO. I had an aftermarket spoiler on a past car and emailed them a couple pic's and when it arrived, the cover fit like a glove.

      They will most likely not stock a cover for a 1st gen Camaro, but you can call and 2x check.

      I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.

      California car cover Dust Stop..

      Or thier flannel cover if it's ONLY for indoor use.

      If you just need a cheapy then you can get "ok" ones at Costco for $30..

      The dreaded Wally World has some cheapies for like $20. Not the greatest but they cover it well enough to keep the prying eyes of the local do gooders from reporting you to codes enforcement. Not that I would know about that it only sat in my driveway for 7 years.
