Hi all, first post.I need some clarifications on the OEM car covers. My wife bought me a cover with part # FR3J-19A412-EA. It is a very tight fit. My car is a '17 with the track pack spoiler. All of my research says the cover she bought is for a car with the flush mount spoiler. I see another cover with model # FR3J-19A412-F and I am thinking it is for the track pack spoiler. Can anyone confirm this? The cover I have concerns me because of how tight it is and I'm worried about marring the spoiler or am I overly concerned? Thanks in advance for the help.

That is exactly the one I have. Maybe it will stretch a little. Thanks for the response.

This is the cover I have on my 2017. Its very snug but did stretch out a little after I had it on the car overnight. I do not know if it helps, but I applied a good coat of wax to the car, especially all the areas that the cover was against, before installing it.

I have the cover that comes as an option on the window sticker. My car spends it days in my shop and is paint corrected by me.
She had nary a swirl before I used that cover and why it will never go on my car again.

I have no issues with damage to the paint from my factory cover. It only goes on after a thorough wash.

Same here; never a mark from the factory cover and my paint is flawless/perfectly corrected also. I would never use it outside where it could even remotely flap around, but for a dust cover in the garage, this one is perfect.

Had new a 16 GT350 and 17 GT350
My factory cover also worked very well without any markings at all for over two years used with car in a carport.

Mine is in a carport as well. I traded my '11 GT500 for the '17 GT350 and the only way to keep my wife's cat off of the 500 was to use the cover. Came home the other day with paw prints on the 350 so my wife got me the cover to keep her cat from coming up MIA.

There’s only 2 different versions of the covers. One fits all standard GT350’s (tech or track package spoiler). The other fits the R because it has the tall wing.
