Default Race Car Cover

I am looking for a cover for my race car. All it needs to do is protect my car from dust while it sits in the garage. So it does not need to be made out some expensive material. I am 99% sure I need a custom made cover since my car has a nice tall wing out back.

Any suggestions for a place to have such a cover made?

Thanks!

Any more detail than that? Maybe a URL, an email address, a phone number?

California Car Cover made mine. They have a template you use for measurements.
Not cheap but anything custom won't be.
Hard to believe a boat canvas shop would cost any less.

Go to Walmart or Amazon and buy the huge cheap one. Doesn't fit perfect, but in the garage you don't have to worry about it blowing off.

This. I found a huge soft (cheap) cover which does the trick perfectly for less than $90.

For even cheaper, sew some old sheets together and drape the result over your car.

I just use an SUV cover from Costco, it was about $30. It wouldn't stay on in a tornado or anything but it completely covers the car (I have similar bodywork and wing to yours) and works fine in the garage.
