Just received mine.$179 for cover and $6.99 for a storage bag.With shipping from Calif to New Jersey total was $200.97! So if you are closer it will be even less.Top quality and a real fair price! Of course Nissan has one but after learning about the paint issues I've been having and everyone else I don't trust Nissan with there cheap junk.They over charge for everything and the quality is 3rd best as far as I'am concerned.Just me 2 cents!

I've got a pearl white Z as well and I cover mine with a generic car cover I bought from PepBoys for $50. I don't remember the brand, but it was one of two they had in stock.
My Z stays outside in my driveway every day under two big trees that the birds LOVE to sit on. The cover has taken somewhat of a beating between the bird $hit, sap and pollen, but in the 2 months I've had the car, the paint has not been affected whatsoever. Granted, I wax the car monthly and wash the crap off the cover weekly (i.e., every time I wash the car itself). And like Alexus said, it's impossible to keep the car perfectly clean anyway...unless of course you put your car in a vacuum-sealed box and leave it there forever.

I purchased my cover from Pep Boys for $79.99 and it works great. It's 4-layered and I have had no issues. Make sure u get a size larger than the 350z. I cover my car everyday and it's only driven on nice days. Before I put the cover on I wipe down the car with a dust remover. I've had my car for about 2 months and have probably waxed it 17 times. I even have the Clear Bra from the fenders forward. Taken care of the paint will pay off, especially in the long run. I learned that from my Benz.

I bought a CoverCraft brand custom fit cover for my G35 Coupe shortly after I bought the car in 2004. My car is garaged at night, but during the days it has generally had the cover on it while outside at my place of employment parking lot. I've kept a good coat of Zaino on the paint, used a California Duster to dust it and still get comments about how the car looks almost new after 5 years. It is Diamond Graphite color which probably helps camouflage some of the defects but the value of keeping the sun from beating down on the paint and upholstery cannot be denied. I'll buy another as soon as I find the 370 I'm looking for. Stay away from cheap covers, they will be harsher on your paint and if loose fitting, will billow and move around with the slightest breeze and rub against the high spots.

The car size chart sux, that's why. I too have a PepBoys cover and had to return 2 before I found a proper size. I finally settled on an SUV-C. Yea, SUV. None of the car covers were wide enough to completely cover the car - I hate having my wheels exposed. Bonus is that it's large enough to handle my Nismo S-tune wing as well
I've had the same cover for my 350Z as well |
