I have one for my other car from carcovers.com. I park it indoors so it doesn't see any elements, but the inner liner is very soft. I haven't noticed any scratches on the car since I've started using it. It's a nice snug fit too.

i use a covermaster when my car is going to be sitting for a while, but i have to make sure that the car is spotless and so is the cover to avoid fine swirls in the paint. it's a pain, but less of a pain than leaving the car uncovered for an extended period of time. my car is also covered full nose in xpel ultimate which helps with any potential particulate that might be covering the car that i've missed. the fit is very good. you can find the cover on amazon for about $150 USD.

If you haven't already, definitely look into how where why your using the cover. I thought it was gonna solve all my problems just while parked at work but it's really a horrible idea I learned, for me. So I never bought one and I may be the only one who hadn't thought of that but justin case...

Someone in the neighborhood overs the car all the time. The wind blowing that cover around is definitely causing swirls and if his car was black like mine they would know it. It's long term storage solution after a spotless cleaning. Driviving home from the car wash collects scratchable dust.

Sorry I entirely ignored the question. Haven't tried one but autoanything.com has provided me decent custom fitting products in the past.

Default Car Cover Question

Anyone use one and what one fits well on 3IS F Sport? I think it takes a 170-190'' size from what I gather. Thanks!

I believe this is what I bought, initially for my MB CLA. When I totaled that car, I put it in the 2016 IS 200 I bought October of 2019 and it fits perfectly. It's not a custom fit
cover. It's fairly lightweight, but it's made well. They make heavy duty covers. Depends what your needs are. At first, I thought it was too
lightweight, but it is fine. I live in the Bay Area in California, so no harsh winters or summers, for the most part. I've attached some photos
to give you an idea. Mine says Denim Blue on the front. Other than that, it appears to be the same.
