Can anyone recommend a good car cover for my IS? I need something to protect from the occasional ball or bike or whatever the kids happen to be doing in the driveway...

There is supposed to be a factory authorized version available at Lexus dealers...

checked out the cover in the lexus parts department, they wanted 240 for a piece of sh*t cover. it looked like a $20 special to me. it was one of those thin jobs that was really rough. i'm gonna search for an aftermarket flannel.

I just came across this site:

I think I may go for the Noah or the Evolution 4. One question though...what happens with the roof antenna???

The roof antenna unscrews so you can take it on and off to handle the cover.

Yeah, they wanted 220.00 for a cover so I went and bought one made of Evolution 4. I have to park mine in an apartment complex and was afraid of dings. This cover was pretty thick and provides good all around protection from dust, moisture, and UV rays if I park it outside. The only problem is it takes up quite a bit of room in the small IS trunk. Make sure you get the one that fits 15-16 foot cars. The 14-15 footer was too small. Cost on those is 120.00.

Thanks for the response...

gmej - Did you buy yours local or using the internet?

gmej,

Did you get your cover with the chain and locks to lock it down? I didn't see a $220 cover on the link for Evolution4. Did you get your custom fitted?

Let me clarify: The car cover I bought was $120.00 + tax from my local car parts store (I think it was Pepboys, you could even check out Kragen). It's made of Evolution 4 and was not custom fitted. Bought the cable and lock separately. If you don't need one that thick try one of the 3-ply car covers as they are easier to handle and won't take up as much space in your trunk if that's where you intend to keep it.
