Anyone have a good recommendation on a good car cover. Preferably one that is a custom fit and not universal?

I have the Jbugs cover.
It fits well and is made for Beetles.

Is it for the Indoors or outside? If inside generally no issue. If outside then suggest you have a good one to protect the car and a cheap one over that to take the weather. (protect the good car cover) Not as pretty but it sucks to see that nice cover destroyed by mother nature.

I have this one from jbugs: B-1LITE for indoor. Nice material and nice fit on my 64 beetle. If you have antenna you have to remove or cut hole in cover. I remove mine and push my mirrors in before covering. Other then that it’s a good indoor cover for the price.

I've had excellent success with covers (for my bug) from Airhead Parts in Ventura, CA. Really like the fit. Durability has been good too.
