as promised here is my review as a consumer, i have no ties whatsoever with any company other than that of a consumer, I recieve no compensation or payment for anything i say.
order placed November 14, 2000. order arrived November 30, 2000. Evolution 4 Car cover. CARCOVER4U.COM. called yesterday to see what the holdup was, cover was said to be mailed out on the 22nd and delayed by the holiday, so it was reasonable and acceptable, customer service rep was really nice and accomodating.
first impressions;
well, i kinda expected something thicker and softer, 4 layers...hmm... color is akin to that of the recycled stuff they use as towels in hs bathrooms and texture is basically the same. i dont know how its supposed to absorb impact. smelled nice though, new carish.
fit and finish;
custom made...fits mirrors and covers nicely, even has pocket for antenna, no need to remove, keep getting the feeling it is bent underneath. i took awhile to put it on, but thats because the finishfirst wax let the cover slide off easy.
final thoughts although i was initially disappointed, the craftsmanship is excellent (machine made?) and it fits my car like a glove, if it protects from rain like it says, dries as fast as the claims and prevents a few dings then i couldn't be happier. I still have to try putting it on a few more times so i can get the hang of it, if i do it right it should only take me a mintue to install and remove. i will have after thoughts and pictures tomorrow.
[edit]fixed bold tags.
Price was $154.56 shipping and tax included (if you don't live in cali you won't get taxed)
