I purchased the silver cover that is sold through the dealership parts department. I am very pleased with the cover and I have only had to wash my car twice since taking delivery on July 11th. The cover is a very tight fit. You have to remove the antenna mast so that you don't poke holes in the cover, which is easy to do. In order to get the cover on, you have to allow the back to remain on the roof of the car and carefully stretch without tearing the mirror pockets and then place the rest of the front cover over the vehicle. You can then install the rear and draw-up the drawstrings on the front. This cover keeps the car dry during rain. I usually lightly go over the car with a California Duster and I am good to go. To eliminate removing the antenna mast, I ordered the short stubby antenna from Stubbyantennas.com for $9.95. The antenna is adequate and I get good reception around town. The factory antenna works better in rural areas. The cover also works well to keep the car cool while it is heatsoaking in the hot sun. You can even crack the windows to allow air circulation and not have to worry about rain getting inside. This cover is a little pricey but does a good job, once you get the hang of how to remove and install it, it isn't so bad.

I bought mine from California Car Cover Company, http://www.calcarcover.com/cover_find2.aspx . They range from $110- $300, includes storage bag . I've always had good fits & quality with their products. I just put in Lloyds floor mats today, look great, fit great.
