Is that a Ford cover? Looks similar to the cover craft one I bought.
Another grabber on the streets. Nice!

I just ordered the lowest price 3ply model for my Boss. I'm totally tapped to get the kids their gifts this year, otherwise I would have bought one of the others between 100-200$. But as it's essentially just going to be a dust cover in my garage to keep the cats off of it, I wanted the 3ply to guard against claws...

Glad you posted this site, some vendors are batsh*t crazy with their pricing for a few layers of various fabrics stitched together in a specific pattern. I had priced one out at one of the sites, came out to over $400. Obviously you are going to save money on a generic one size fits many style cover versus a customized cover specific to your vehicle. If the budget allowed I would have sprung for the OEM Ford NOAH cover, but at 1/5th the cost, I had to go for the cheaper one for my winter Boss storage.

I understand what you mean about the money. But i think i got a good deal. I got it out the door for $289 from the dealership. They were nice enough to price match with a retailer i saw online. I figure $300 bucks to cover a $35,000 purchase is worth it.

As I said, I would have got the OEM Ford NOAH cover if I wasn't paying for Xmas presents. I agree that our cars are worth protecting with a quality cover, so this purchase is essentially an anti-cat dust cover. But it's all part of the master plan, mwhahahaa. I can get the nicer one for me later and use this one for the wife's 11 GT.

They cost around 400+ dollars though. I say well worth it though as they will last and wont come off in even the worst storm.

Note: You could probably find them on various websites.
2012 style



2013 style
I have the same car cover and would reccomened it also , but I would also suggest to buy the cable and lock if your going to keep it outside. I live on the beach and for precautions move my GT to the airport 4th floor outdoor parking garage during hurricane Sandy and if it wasn't for the lock and cable, I would have lost the cover. When I went to get my GT after the storm, to my surprise the cover was blown off from both front and rear of the car, but still held down by the cable. For a 400.00 + car cover, a 10.00 cable and lock purchase was well worth it, since it does not come with the cover. So with my experience, the car cover WILL blow off in the worst scenario, lucky with no damage. Just throwing it out there.

Did yours come with the string? I have no clue how that is properly tied.

No it did not. I had to order it separately. Any car cover website has it. They are all standard for any car cover. Once you see it, it's self explanatory on how to tie it down. When I get a chance, I'll post some pics.

Heres a couple shots of how everything was packaged etc.
Also, again, even though the tag says 2010. It will fit a 2013 GT perfectly.
