The gold 10th Ann'y cover that came with my car is simply a cheap vinyl-like/type product. (Maybe vinyl isn't correct, ...) No soft liner at all. I had a silver in color 'Firehawk' cover a ocuple years ago that was the same material.
Do some of the other SLP covers have a soft liner?!?
You can find them in the for sale section cheaper. I have one and like it. It's not the quality of some others, but the fit is perfect & I only use it in the garage anyway to keep dust off the SS.
I only bought it because it has the SS symbol on it.
I bought one from Summit that was a Wolf automotive brand. Its an indoor outdoor cover and has a real nice fit. I paid $150 2 years ago. If you plan on keeping the car I'd buy a nice one and get it over with.
You get what you pay for. The cheap covers might scratch your car. I have the Stormweave from California Car Cover. It cost $180 about 4 years ago. Not sure what they cost now, but there are different types on their website. Mine stays in the garage but I bought that one just in case it was outside for some reason.
SLP's covers aren't good for anything but keeping dust off the car while in the garage. They are not a soft, protective type cover at all.
They will scratch a car sitting outside with any little breeze, ..., trust me, I know, ...
Thats true...but its a great cover for a car thats kept inside...I have used them for years and love them. But its NOT an outside cover for sure!
