Depending where you live in Maryland you could stop by and see mine. We have too many toys in the garage already three motorcycles a 2006 Saleen plus a truck and another car have to sell some of them LOL as stated I also had the OEM Lexus cover but I much rather use the WeatherShield.
hello are you selling the oem cover?

California Cover has some really nice quality covers for the SC430. One is for indoor, one is for outdoor usage. I purchased one for my sons Acura coupe, which we eventually sold. But I kept the cover and it just happened to fit my SC good enough for indoor storage. Anyway, they are spendy. But if you want max outdoor protection, they are the best..

I've been using a top-of-the-line Coverking custom cover on my SC430 for over five years. It's great and they absolutely stand behind their warranty. If your cover fails before the warranty is up, you get a new one!

Red face Lexus sc430 car cover - Thank You!

Thank you for taking the time to let me know which cover to get. This is my first luxury car and I want to keep it looking good. Today I drove it to Sprouts for curbside pickup - it was the first time I took it out of the garage. Piper

I have been using CAR CAPSULE for years and it has been great. No scratching, dust, or rodents. However, if you need something that lets you take your Lexus in and out, on a regular basis, I would get the unit that uses an actual frame rather than the bubble type.

I highly recommend this.

There are covers to protect cars parked indoors, which are the most inexpensive. The outdoor covers range greatly in price. You need one that will handle the elements where you live. For my SC, here in Ohio, I needed something to handle the snowstorms that sometimes blow through, but you may not need that. My best advice is to shop around.

Hello all, I am looking for an OEM/Lexus brand car cover for an SC430 (2004) - used or new. Please let me know if you have one that can be put to good use. Thank you.

From what I've heard, don't outdoor car covers end up sand blasting your paint with all the wind, rain, dirt that gets blown around.
