Well that's another thing I was looking at Mike. A good quality CRX-specific aftermarket cover. I'm just afraid of ending up with a universal 'small car' cover. Can you make any recommendations of companies or vendors to source one from? Of course, it won't be as special as having an original. :|
I got one of mine through - if memory serves - Big Sky Car Covers out of Montana. I think it ran about $160 (not cheap). It's not their top-of-the-line model, either, but it isn't their cheapest; somewhere in the middle. Offers *some* water protection, but not much, really. Mostly it's good for keeping dust and sunlight off the car. I've been happy with it. As for fitment, it's fantastic. They asked me specific questions about my particular car, like did it have the passenger-side mirror and the rear wiper, so they could make sure to get me the exact right one for MY car.
The other one came with the second car when I bought it. By amazing coincidence, it's the exact same cover - same company, same part number and all. The guy I bought the car from was pretty anal about his cars, so it made me feel better about the cover I already had.
I'm sure I could get a car cover for less money, but I'm not sure I'd be as happy with it if I did. Shop around a bit and compare; you might find some place selling the same cover for less!
