I guess they need to get a better fitting one, or find a way to secure it better.
Thanks again.

Does anyone know if it is okay to leave the car cover on in the rain? I have heard that it will cause scratches on your car. I am not sure how true this is however.
I have the Mazda car cover, and it looks great. The inside is not lined with fannel, but the material looks smooth enough not to scratch.
Thanks in advance.

I have no pictures and the cover has been put away, but I chose the Superweave. I keep it covered in the garage so I can't say how it holds up outside. They claim it's their top of the line cover. I purchased it because it's strong, lightweight and can be washed. Fit's great, maybe not as snug as the OEM, but snug enough. I veered from the OEM because of how tight they said it was. My cover is a bright Red to go with my car and I had them stitch 2004-RX8 (inlcuded) on the nose. I may have paid for an extra letter. They did a great job.

Anyone know if the Mazdagear cover fits the R3? Car Cover - K01 - RX-8
Also, how does it hold up outside?

Shoot, I just bought the one from Mazda gear. Hopefully it's made of the high grade material. It should be, cost $250 with shipping

Just ordered a custom fit cover from California Car Cover. It's being made so I should have it in a couple weeks. Should fit a lot better than the OEM one I bought and sent back.

looks like a nice cover, congrats.
just be careful putting the cover on if your car is dirty, i always wipe down the car with quick detailer before putting a cover on and do not pull the back end down over the exhaust tips. :

Thanks. It fits a lot better than the other one I bought. And that's a good idea, I always make sure I just cleaned it before I put the cover on.

So, when you're ordering from their site, the form asks if you have any modifications to the exterior of the car. If you note that you have the MS bodykit like I do, how do they make sure it fits?
