Just ordered a car cover for my 2010 shelby. I was thinking it would have been priced in the $350 - $400 range but it is going to be $741 with taxes. Is this the right number?

It's a $375 option with the car..but as always you're going to pay more if ordered separately I would imagine - as you would with HID Lights, NAV, Shaker1000 if you wanted to add them after you took delivery of the car. No way would I pay $741 for a car cover personally.

EDIT : Just saw you're in Canada..we were talking American dollars...right?

Save your money! Unless you just want the cheap screen print "Shelby" and big cobra it is not worth it. I ordered mine when I ordered the car because I did not know better. Now that I have opened and actually used the cover, there is no way in hell I would spend that kind of cash for it. You would be better suited going aftermarket high quality.

Unless you just have to have the cobra and lettering. But I am willing to bet you will be disappointed with spending that much money for this cover.

But tell you what, I will save you some cash and sell you mine for $600. Lol. J/k

I paid $375 for mine when I bought the car.

Unlike someone else in this thread, I'm more than pleased with mine.

Forget about the print of the Cobra on the front or the SHELBY lettering on the rear...I'm impressed with the *custom* fit. Not only does it fit like a glove, it has outcrops for the side-view mirrors and the rear-mount antenna too.

Maybe the 2010 is different from earlier models, but I'd pay $375 again (in a heartbeat) if mine disappeared.

Phil or anyone,

Got a question, have a deposit on a 2011 GT500 and was wondering how the underside of the cover is? Is it soft and do you worry about scratching the paint? The car will be in the garage all the time so I really don't need a cover for the elements, just for dust protection. I was looking for an after market cover with a microfiber underside but if the one that I can order with the car is fine, I would order it.

Thanks,
Craig (PCW)

I don't remember off the top of my head but I have to go out later and put my new plates on the car so I'll check then.

I know I wasn't concerned about scratching the paint and I'm SUPER ANAL about such things so..... ?SHRUG?

No special liner attached to the cover. Same material as exterior. Also I can't remember at the moment but I think it is even a single layer.

And as for special "custom" fit. Aftermarket can do the same. I just sold a cover for my old Trans-AM that was custom fit. Mirrors, antenna. Ect. The cover was dual layer construction with nice soft contact layer. And this cover also fit "like a glove".

I just don't think this cover is worth the money.

+1 for me.You can get a really good custom cover for 250-350.Unless your a collector,just go for the commercial cover

If I go the custom route, what are some names of manufactures?

i bought cover craft,custom fit, dustop indoor cover from car covers direct $228 .under side is pretty soft.

Any 2010 Mustang GT cover should fit a GT500, right?

[2nd2none]

http://www.calcarcover.com Bought a cover from this place back when I had my WRX STi and it fit perfect. They didn't have a cover for the 2010 GT500 when i bought mine but it appears they now do


I bought my 2010 off a lot and it didnt come with a cover. I figured there would be people that also bought the car off a lot that came with a cover and they didn't need/want it. I was right and just bought from a guy on these forums.

Hey 2nd a buddy of mine had an outdoor, all weather cover from Calcarcover on his Audi and absolutely loved it. Said it was a garage in a bag.......lol. How did you like it?

As long as the radio antenna is the same. The GT500 has a shorty antenna mounted on the right rear fender. Not sure how/what the GT has but the mirrors will be the same.

I also had a Wolf Car cover custom made for a 1969 Olds Toronado I had in high school. Cover was awesome, great fit, and soft on the paint, provided great weather protection as well as sunlight protection which was amazing considering the heat in both Phoenix and Tucson.

Seems like Wolf got bought out by covercraft though from what I can tell. From other posts sounds like people are happy with covercraft as well so that is probably where I will get mine.

My cover came with the car, this is the second winter that it will be covered. I removed the antenna and put it in the trunk, it makes it a little easier to put the cover on.

[cbr1000]

I was not impressed with mine when I first got the car. Now that the car is stored for the winter and I actually put the cover on the car I think it's worth the money. It fits well, and looks good. It's got a cobra on the front and printed SHELBY on the rear. Elastic on the bottom with gromet holes which I assume are for a lock. It also came with an attached storage bag. I didn't see the bag when I first got the car because it's sewed into the unside of the rear part of the cover.
