CAUTION!
DO NOT BUY FROM CARCOVERS.COM!
I just received the car cover from Car Covers. Com. It is a worthless piece of junk, that I was charged $150.00 for!
It doesn't come close to fitting my car and isn't as good a quality as the $40.00 cover I'm currently using!
The idiot Tech I spoke to there, tried to claim that there are no instructions that come with the cover. This is obviously a case of a company having junk drop shipped from China, without having a clue about the product they are selling. There are instructions, claiming that the word "Front" is either on a tag, or stamped into the front of the cover. Neither is true. I only hope that they are reputable enough to refund all my money, now that I have requested an RMA.

Here's a file everyone is welcome to, if you'd like to do an Iron On logo on your cover.
I'll be attempting it on the cover I should be receiving shortly.

Ordered. I was worried it might be drop shipped from China, but it's coming from New York and they tell me I'll have it by weeks end.
I'll give a full review, with Pics when I receive it, and thanks again, RT.

Ccemn1...
If you get one of those covers, please let us all know how it is.

It isn't enough to want a Lambo, you have to want to BUILD A CAR.

Ccemm1, Save yourself some headache, Just look on ebay, I'm sure you can find something on there for well under $600, there are some cheap gallardo covers on there you can take an alter Or find an aftermarket satin stretchy material and get an iron on a lambo logo for the front and iron on the script for the back. Done!

Hey CC....

I apologies but I am going to keep them both. I have one yellow which is not stretchy material and 1 black cover which is stretchy stuff. I will let you know if I change my mind though,

I have 2 of them. let me see if I can find the extra one. They are not that expansive sometimes you can find them for under $300
keep an eye out on ebay

CCIE
PS love your Roadster please post more pictures. Was this the last Roadster Ron was working on few years back and was not painted?
  CC, Ever find out if you've still got that 2nd cover? I'd be interested in buying it, if you're selling?
Thanks for your time, CC

You have a beautiful Roadster. Ron is an amazing builder. How would you get the car across the border to Canada? From what I know they do not allow kit cars to cross the border.

CCIE
Thank you. I had heard about Ron, and seen some of his beautiful work, long before buying one of his cars. I was beyond surprised, finally finding one that I could afford, and even more surprised at what an accessible, great guy he is!
He has been instrumental in me getting this car back together and so generous with his time, it's unbelievable!

Canadian car shippers. Its going in an enclosed trailer, and the duty charges involved are minimal, because it's only going in temporarily to have work done on it, then coming right back.

I just learned that my car is NOT an NAREC, but made from Ron's custom molds and is darn near identical to the real item.
Again, I can't speak highly enough about his work and skill. I previously owned an IFG Diablo coupe. Ron asked me if it was "resin rich", a term I had never heard before. He rolls most of the resin out from his molds, leaving a stronger, more durable body. This is evident in the Pics of my car, about 15 years old now, and still beautiful. My IFG coupe was much newer and had cracks everywhere, See Vid from my sales pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFknYMrMNTc
Though it will be expensive as hell, to ship from Key West, Florida, to Vancouver, Canada, I'm really looking forward to getting my Roadster back to Ron, because I know it will be returned in like new shape.
