Good outdoor car covers?

Hello everyone, me again, here I am asking for advice regarding car covers.

Don’t want to scratch paint, don’t want to leave the car outdoor to get beat up by the sun, and legally can not put a permanent “shade” over it because the car is too large sq ft wise.

What covers do you guys use? Tips? Tricks? Advice?

Thanks in advance.

Did the CarPlay Alibaba Swap

I think it looks clean in the car. Definitely wasn’t gonna put a Tesla screen or a different screen on it (no hate to those who do)

What do you guys think?

Also link: https://www.alibaba.com/x/B2Jo1f?ck=pdp

For $170 USD, It works great so far.

Wheel Spacers

Do you guys think that 25mm front and 30mm rear spacers are too ‘much’? I’m running a 2016 370z Nismo on stock Nismo v2 wheels. Trying to adjust fitment and make sure it’ll look clean not janky. Thanks for your thoughts/help.

Well that was quick lmao — Transmission issues.

Just curious if anyone else has ran into this issue. I’ve read some have mentioned it can be the valve body, low fluids, etc.

My car is a 2016 7AT 370z, shifts up to third in “automatic” mode but stays in first in manual and won’t shift up. I have a code reader coming, but does anyone have any recommendations?

Should I take this to the Nissan Dealership for service or a trustworthy local shop? Kind of stumped. Thanks yall!

EDIT (8/4/26):

Code P0720 - Speed Sensor Failure

After speaking with SoHo Motorsports, they let me know what the issue is. Looks like coolant can contaminate the transmission (fluid?) correct me if I’m wrong, and this causes issues. Replacing just the valve body will continue to have this issue 6 months - 1 year down the line, according to Renan, who was extremely helpful. It is a buy once cry once situation. The remediation is basically:

Buy a newer 2019+ VR30 transmission and the upgrade kit from SoHo that bypasses the coolant issue. Buy once cry once.

Sammy ‘16 Nismo Update

Hey, I posted my car here when I got it initially and now have made some changes to it!

Changes made so far:

MotorDyne Exhaust
Painted Door Handles
Interior Handle
Interior Mats

Next change (this month):

Fender Z Blinker swap to Morimoto Smoked Lens
New License Plate Frame
Emblem Swap (Z) (Black)
(Maybe wrap Nismo logo in back??)
New red front accent, both sides

Month after (July):
Wheel Spacers (what sizes should I get?)
Lip Kit (already ordered, assuming it would get here in July)

Future plans (ideas):
VeilSide V3 Wing
Wheels
Tires
Tune? (Maybe, any recommendations? I am in Cali, but I can work around if needed to get EcuTek, etc.)
Air Intake (still iffy, may get just for sound for a bit, not sure)
Paint/Wrap, undecided on what I want, but I have an idea for color.
Fenders (undecided, any ideas?)
Hood (undecided, any ideas?)
Headlight / Taillight color additions (LED/RGB, just accents but nice to have other modes for shows)

I am mainly looking at some aesthetic / small performance changes as Cali is kind of strict about it and I am trying to remain as legal as I can for now lol

Please drop any thoughts / suggestions, tysm!
