Default TC car cover? With lipkit?

So I went to Vegas for a week and left the car at the in laws. When I got back, the car was covered from top to bottom with huge etched in hard water spots (they have their own water well and the sprinkler system apparently had gone to town on my car so all the salt and stuff dried on my car). I had to spend $100 bucks to have someone buff it all out with rubbing compound and rewax it and only 95% of it came out. Then I went to the inlaws again and spend the night. Not knowing they're sprinklers had gone off in the middle of the night! This time I caught it early enough that with some elbow grease I was able to get MOST of it off. Well I am going on another vacation next week and have decided to invest in a car cover. But I don't know what brand is good (I'm planning on using it everyday so its gotta be quality). Also, I am planning on getting the RS1 front/back lips and OEM side skirts. I want to make sure that my $300 investment still works when I get a lip kit.

I'm currently looking at Covercraft. Specifically Noah, Weathershield HD, and Sunbrella (cost is killer but if anyone has experience with these I'd love to know about it).

A car cover is a factor option for our car, TRD sparks carrries it. http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...6&parts_id=599 Its stated in the title that it won't fit bodykits, but I'm not sure if lipkits are included. You'll have to email them about that.

I've had issues with water spots before due to sprinkler systems. I clay barred the car, then hand buffed with Meguiar's scratch x and that took care of the problem. Applied a coat of wax afterwards and everything looked great again.
