Default 996 GT3 cover options

I have a factory Porsche cover (light, silver, snug) that does not fit over the larger RS wing.

Looking for something like I have with my 993. From memory, it was a Covercraft in all-season technolon.

Any similar recommendations for a 996 with larger rear spoiler? Not looking for something too tight.

Cheers

Matt

I guess the condensed question is whether a cover from Covercraft (GT2 or GT3 fitment) will fit the larger rear spoiler...

I have an RS wing and use a 997.2 GT3 car cover that fits great.

See if you can get a hold of a factory 996cup cover. That's what I use for my 996rs.

To give you an idea how a black cover looks like and how it fits the car it was made for :

Matt, an updated picture of your gem of a car with that wing please And I expect you to take me around the fast corners at Tremblant that much faster with the extra down force!

I will probably go this route - need to check covercraft for availability, I like the 'loose' fitment of my other covercraft cover.

Thanks Gert - looks great, but looking for a loose fit.

Ha! You bet. Pics when she's out of storage. Have no illusions about driving any faster - but I'll LOOK fast in the paddock!
