07 I was just about to start a thread fr this same topic, the only cover I can find is a Shelby cover on EBAY. I can't find them anywhere else and I dont know how this person got ahold of them. Their is a large Cobra on the front and Shelby across the back. It looks okay (as far as covers go). I am trying to find out some more info, and will let you know as soon as I do. Oh yeah they are $399 + $22 for freight.

07 - I had a custom cover made by California Car Cover Co. The cover was about $200 and then I added the Cobra logo and Shelby GT500 embroidered on it. It looks and fits great. I'd recommend a cover, but that's my own opinion. My Shelby goes into winter storage next week. Good luck.

Thanks Aldy, I checked their site out compared to what I found on EBAY thats def the way to go.

Ditto...I didn't get the custom Shelby stuff, but CCC Co. www.calcarcover.com/ makes a nice product. I have bought several covers from them over the years and have had NO disappointments...I don't remember now if I got the Superweave or Customweave. It fits like a glove and is very soft on the inside...was about $220 shipped to my doorstep.

I purchased a California car cover the the GT500 lettering and Snake logo. Dust cover was all I needed and had posted it some time ago before I received my Shelby. California car cover is a quality product and my previous post gave cover cost as well as lettering, snake logo and storage bag costs. Happy ordering. The only adjustment the cover requires is making a hole for the antena. It comes with plastic gromets and instructions for the application. You also have the choice to remove the antena and not install the gromets. Your preference. I have not decided yet as I fear the gromets and fitting the cover over the antena may be more of a pain than removing the antena for the number of times the cover will be on the car. Pricing is straight forward, as the site is mentioned in this thread, but if you so desire I will check my pricing if needed. The key difference in the car covers they sell is whether the car will be stored in or outdoors. Mine was indoor so all I needed was the dustcover which is much more reasonable in pricing.

I saw this on another forum:

www.huggercover.com

They are a Canadian company but you can get a custom cover with dual stripes that looks cool.

I think it is www.huggercovers.com - missing the "s"

You're keeping it garaged, right? Then the answer is NO cover. For a myriad of reasons. Ask your local painter.

I have a california cover (dust cover ) on mine. 3 layers with one layer of flannel. Super Super soft will not scratch. This is not a cover for a car that sits outside. I did not need weather protection just dust. If anyones car will sit outside get the cover they call The Noah series had it for my truck and it was excellent. I am sure a hundred compaines making covers but I have had 4 california car covers and they are great.

Aldy,
Wanted to let you know,I bought a car cover from California Car Cover.It was the Dustop model.$209 with a Cobra on the front.Thanks for everyones input..............................07...................................

07 - that's the same cover I purchased. I think you will like it. The antenna screws right off so you don't have to worry about cutting a hole in the cover when you put the car into storage.

Thanks for doing the leg work on the covers. I have fallen in line to get the same dust cover. Do not need a outside one
Thanks

Why would you recommend not covering it if it's inside?

I believe the issue is some covers are not user friendly with clear coat finishes, although Califorina Car Cover states their covers are suitable for clear coat finishes. The real response will come from the paint experts.
