Early Christmas gift

I got a bit of an early Christmas gift from my GF. She got me the Nissan Car cover for my new 2007 Max.

Here in Sunny Florida, I don't have to worry about the winter snows, salted roads, etc, but I do have a big, big problem with treesap "dripping" on my car all the time and it spends alot of time in the driveway since I work from home alot.

She's hoping I'll spend more time with her on the weekends than having to wash it off my car every weekend!

Fits nice, quite "soft". Since I keep my car washed and waxed all the time, is there anything I should be concerned with? Hopefully it keeps the shiny black paint from fading in the bright Florida sun as well.

I forgot to say besides that one...lol

That's the main one that I have been eying lately, but I'm not sure if I should get under-drive or light-weight from Unorthodox at 3x the price?

Well if I can get pretty much the same results from the UDP, then why would I want to spend the extra $ on the light-weight? I'd rather get new belts + some other little goodies for that money if it's not that much of a difference.

i doubt i can provide you with a decent underdrive vs, light stock size

if unorthodox racing is what you want.. then light stock would be the way to go. (i would change my belts anyway with this) so the $$ is still there

the cosmo for me is the way to go..and i have the belt #s at home..

strada is the name of the other company... the price on the internet is wrong, supposidly you can get them for like $100

So under-drive vs. light-weight=very minimal in differences? At least not worth the extra couple bills to get the Unorthodox?

i have never seen any hard evidence which one is better... you are only freeing HP up.

the couple $$ difference is probably just more in the company's pocket...

dunno the exact amt. but I know she ordered from courtesyparts.com. (One isn't supposed to ask their GF what a Christmas gift costs and expect to live thru it)
