C 8 car cover that fits well
I recently ordered a cover from “ Car Covers Factory “ and from the website was led to believe this to be made specifically for a C 8 but in reality it looks to be a generic, one size fits all and even has “ Sedan “ on its label .... at least they are paying shipping back ... however now I’m hesitant to order another cover without some recommendations.... Would like a cover that has cutouts for mirrors , soft inside, and at least thicker than a trash bag ....

Believe it or not rain x makes a very inexpensive indoor car cover soft no mirror covers but it will do the job seventy bucks .Waiting for my 2021 to be built and if I want a custom cover will spring for the GM cover pricey but very custom.

Used to live a couple towns over from you-westfield. As to car covers, search around even the National Corvette Museum, vendors on here that sell them, and other places like the Corvette site, your dealer, etc. It does depend to some extent if it's for indoors only or both. My guess is indoors, in which case you want something possibly just a little thicker to prevent the occasional "bumps" of things like mower handles, spreaders, even a rake handle (or, 'horrors' a bicycle!!). The really thin, great-looking ones don't seem to have much cushioning, IMO. Just consider that if it's even relevant. For the outdoors, you want the best for climate things, I presume. Can look at mamotorworks (mid america motorworks), southern car parts, eckler's, zip (corvette) products, etc. Talk to them first on the phone or by writing so you get exactly what you want and don't have to send it back again.

I purchased the Chevy OEM car cover and it fits perfect, Z51 wing and all. The only thing is I park with my mirrors in and the pockets don't really accommodate folded mirror so they are "extra", but the mirrors still are covered. FYI, Hood is open under cover for charger cord.

I'll use old bed sheets like I have on other cars
**EDIT**
Never mind my comment- I see you already ordered a cover.

The Chevy cover is apx $400, but I used my $100 GM rewards credit (C8 purchase) towards it - $300 + Tax. It is very soft underneath.

I just purchased one on E-bay $69.00 free shipping. It seems to be a good quality. Gold serie

Try Onyx
A friend of mine has a C8 and looked all over the place to find a really good cover that was specifically made to fit the C8. He ended up getting an Onyx car cover. He said they were reasonably priced and fit perfectly.
I believe he got it at Top Flight Automotive. I think this is the one he got.
