Question indoor car cover (tri-guard)

Just hung up with Phil at sunset and he told me he has a tri-guard cover that is well priced at $87. grey with black crest...

Anyone have any experience with this cover?

Sorry OT as I don't have any experience w/the tri-guard..but what i really want for an indoor cover is the stretch car cover that Gert sells..I missed out on the group buy last time around, but if there is another one count me in. I have the silver factory one, and it is just OK IMHO.

Agreed. I have the silver factory one as well. Not only is it not waterproof, but the metal grommets at the corners give me indigestion every time I lay the thing on the car.

Interesting, David. You are the only other person I've seen with Aventurine Green like mine. Almost identical cars, right down to, uh, the car cover, I suppose!

edit: Well, that and I suppose there's the minor difference of roof material...duh.

Randy - Actually mine is forest or rainforest green...much more greener than yours I think...IIRC advturine (or adventura?) has a grey shade to it and looks more grey thans green, especially in the certain light. I looked at a few cabs in that color but could not find one in good condition.

I would be interested in being part of another group buy.

JLS, I've seen the lycra cover on Gert's site, but it lacked the crest. Was that a special item for the group buy? I've been drooling over your cover for quite awhile. Oh, and your write up of the suspension change is outstanding. Can't wait to do mine (someday).

Gert is Gert Carnewal from www.carnewal.com. His company is a Rennlist Sponsor and provides a lot of great service to many of us. Always worth considering for parts, etc.

Here is the previous Group Buy that I put together. We had a lot of people. The covers can be specially configured to fit ~your~ car, which is nice if you have any special tails, splitters, etc. installed:

A Wolf indoor cover....I've tried factory and other brands, but I got the best protection from a custom made Wolf cover.

David in LA....your paint looks very much like Dark Forest Green

Wasn't that the color of your C4S? Not that many greens aside from Adventurine running around.


So, who would be up for a group buy? I would definitely be in :0
