    Anyone find a possible car cover?

    Just seeing if anyone found a car cover by chance that will fit well on the 818. I would like one for the track, I was winching the car into the trailer when it started raining. I can remove the wing in 10 seconds and throw a cover on.

    I'm thinking a Boxster cover might fit well enough, or a Lotus? I'm not sure. Any ideas?
    Thanks- Chad

    A well stocked beverage fridge is the key to any successful project.

    I don't. It just sits in the garage. I'll see if I can borrow one to see.

    If there's enough interest, I can see about making them. I work at a tarp company that does mainly trucking tarps but I'm sure I could source the correct material and get them made.

    I thought there was someone who referenced this as a good option, but that was for the S cars with a windshield. Not sure how well it would work on an R car since it wouldn't have any support up front.

    A 2eleven cover would likely work well, but I haven't seen a model specific one at a reasonable cost.

    if you want something real nice.

    I've had good luck with custom covers made by California Car Covers for several sports and formula cars.

    I saw that one- maybe Wayne has a Lotus cover he can try on his 818 for general dimensions? You around Wayne?
