Question I need advice on a cover for this car.. (pics)

I need to keep my baby covered while I construct my garage... whats my best option for the oncoming Florida summer? Should I just part it out and spare it the torture?

Seriously... I have a factory Honda Accord cover on it, was wondering whats my best option , I see them range from 15 bucks on ebay to a couple hundred in a catalog... thoughts?

... oh yeah, took some pics yesterday too...

I suppose a tarp would be OK indoors but the wind would concern me...

She has Bilstien coilovers and M030 bars, rear torsion delete, 968 castor blocks and racers edge rear bushings (kinda squeaky at times).

well i made the stupid choice. Cheaped out and bought a 30 buck car cover from autozone. It leaves gray stuff on the car after it rains, no matter how many times i wash it, following the instructions of course. So i finally got an idea to use this crappy cover to protect the paint, and use a plastic sheet over it. My dad has a big roll of it that folds out and is about wide enough to cover the car. We then clipped it onto the already secured cover using some heavy duty clips. It was blowing gusts of 30 mph the other nite tho and it came off, took awhile to find the right places to clip it to prevent it from blowing off. That is the cheap and painful solution. If you really want a nice cover, I have heard that porsche silvergaurd covers are very nice. They sell em' at pelican, 944 online, and you can find them at other places i believe. they are fitted to the car and do not leak. good luck tryin to protect your gorgeus baby!
