Badass, all us LE owners have that, or ideally should. That is the transport cover Ford shipped the vehicle in. It has clips that hook onto sections of the undercarriage and tape across the windshield. It is made out of a paper/cloth material. It's not easy to take on and off like a regular cover

As my car is being stored strictly indoors and on top of a lift I went with the Dustop. As the car will be off the ground, and away from people touchig or putting things on it I wasn't too concerned about dings, but Dustop still provides a good protection.

I just ordered the CoverCraft Dustop from California Car Cover, as advised per CarCraft rep because their dealers are cheaper. Nice of the rep to save me a few bucks!

The CoverCraft rep confirmed that the Dustop does indeed provide the best dust protection. Also according to thier spec comparison chart, Dustop provides good protection against dings as well. In the description it said it is one of their thickest materials yet have the softest inside material. The inside is made from the same manufacture of baby diapers.

I also have a Noah cover on my 2007 GT, strictly garaged as well. And the Noah does provide good coverage and dig protection. However I often find a fine layer of dust on the car in the pattern of the material when I remove the cover. In the end the Noah is a great cover and has suited my needs on the 07, so I cannot speak bad of it.

I cannot comment on Evolution as I have never used it.

If you want good all around indoor and outdoor I would say go with Noah.

For strictly indoor I would suggest Dustop

Yeah, I understood that from the dealership, but since I didn't do the LE, no cover. Now, if someone with an LE didn't want theirs....:eyebulge: Just for posterity, not regular use.

I ordered a CoverCraft Fleeced Satin cover in Black with the 50th logo in white on it from Carbras.com. Free shipping and if you call it seems like Ken is the owner and the guy who answers the phone. Great to work with. My material was out of stock at CC so I am still waiting for the cover. Wanted to order the form fit but thought it was to pricey. I do believe you will have to order tomorrow to be able to get the 50th logo. The licensing is supposed to end on the 31st. If you go to Covercraft.com and go to vehicle covers they have a rally nice cover comparison chart towards the bottom of the list. I found it to be very helpful. My cover will be used indoor only. Hope this helps.

Yea that looks REALLY good when I get a garage one day I'll switch to something like that.

See above, the Evolution material is the thickest. I have one on my LE

MC, I was looking on the website and it seems they are touting the NOAH Block-it over the Evolution Block-it, can you elaborate on why you prefer the Evolution? is it because of the thickness?

EDIT: I went to carcoverusa.com and found a table that compared the covers. I see now that the evolution, as you said, is the best for ding protection, while the Noah appears to be better for outdoor use. Sorry if my question seemed silly. here's a link to the chart I found: http://www.carcoverusa.com/Covercraft-Car-Covers.html

I have a 2015 GT Covercraft Noah w/50th logo , got it from covercraft but I think you could only get them through Dec. 31 2014 then that is the end of the 50th logo. I had the same cover for my 2008 GT/CS but sold the car and the cover went with it .

Just a heads up: I spoke with someone at Covercraft who informed me that they have gotten the green light to continue selling the 50yr logo through the new year, so you don't have to rush to buy until you're certain of what you want...

nothing is ever silly. If you could feel the two together, the evolution is thicker (not by much though)

I ordered the Block-It from CarCoverUSA.com this morning. I emailed back and forth with someone at [EMAIL="[email protected],"][email protected],[/EMAIL] and they were able to add MUSTANG to the back of the cover for $25 extra. Also, I requested that the front 50yr logo be placed over the hood, rahter than infront of the grill, which they said they could also accomodate. I'll let you know how it turns out when i get it...

How are they doing the MUSTANG to the back? I managed to get the same from California Car Cover, but they are silk screening a second CoverCraft logo, FD-9, to the back. The logo is only 10" wide, so it will not fill the whole tail like the Ford one I originally posted.

They're going to embroider 2.25" letters on the back, it won't be as big as Ford's cover, but itll be slightly bigger than the FD-9 logo.

Appreciate it!!. Only thing I saw that I will probably add is "LE #1141" to the front above the 50 Years silkscreen logo
