Default SC300/400 fitted car cover?

Does anyone know of a good brand fitted car cover for first gen SC's? At this point I have to wonder if any company makes one for our models given the age but I thought I'd ask just in case.

Yea, but it's not cheap. I have this one, it came with my SC when I bought it. It fits perfect. Goes on easy, has straps if you need to tie it down. I can put some pics up if necessary.

I was lucky enough to score a Cover King all weather from Costco a year ago for only $28. I see them priced for like $300 in there website. It fits very well too. Cover's the wheels too.

Thanks, guys! I half expected the options to be less than cheap but I am happy to see that there are at least a couple of choices. I used to have a model-specific fitted cover for one of my cars and I've always wanted one for this car.

I bookmarked the Amazon link (funny, that did not show up when I searched there yesterday) and I'll check into that Costco cover too, KP! Thanks!

I know that Lexus themselves back in the day actually made car covers specially for the SC's, but good luck finding one thats in good shape, or at all for that matter. I recently saw an SC for sale that came free with the OEM cover from Lexus.

Dudes,


I purchased this cover for $60.00, including shipping, back in April of this year (2015). No complaints. The same company has higher-end (more layers but heavier) versions as well.

Do you use this cover indoors or outdoors?

Outdoors, the pics are deceiving it looks like it's got a layer of blanket like fabric on the inside, but it doesn't.

Kinda pricey, but I got mine at California Car Cover. http://www.calcarcover.com/

Custom fit for SC and didn't move around much, if any. I also had a cable and lock to ensure it didn't blow off and as a theft deterrent measure. I also ordered a bag separately to store the cover when not in use.

Attached my old order info for reference:

The SC I had back at the beginning of the year came with a factory Lexus branded car cover. Sent it off with the car when I sold it.
