Several years ago, I picked up a Porsche licensed one from Performance Products (PP). It could very well be the same that dme posted a picture of. Only definite difference is that mine has a red crest and lettering instead of black.
The part number on the box is PPNA.501.944. PP lists a PPNA.508.944 which is probably an evolution of the same cover, since if I enter the '501' number it redirects to the '508'.

You might have good point

All the ones I've seen at Costco are in that ugly pale yellow. Might just get one on eBay
All the ones I bought from Costco here are gray, and outdoor version. They work well for my rotating fleet.
I guess I am paranoid, I keep people away from my garage, but have an office in the house. Maybe if my garage was as clean and orderly as the house.

How clean is that except for the ladder a moving boxes, and for how long will it be clean, thats the question. I just finished installing lights on the ceiling and getting in my office furniture last night : ) The only things to be finished is the garage bathroom.
When I moved in, there was no drywall, no windows, no floor etc... did everything in 3 weeks. The only help I hired was to do the drywall plaster (it's an art).
As for paranoia, I have it too. I now have a full central alarm system installed this morning with automatic locks : ) not much to be stolen, but you never know.

Holy Crap! a waiting room? If I had a few more feet of garage depth, I'd be tempted to have a raised deck area. Much more comfortable than being on solid concrete though I could never have an office in my garage. It would be way to stinky in there with old pre emissions Datsuns in there coating everything in soot! hehehe

pretty much the why I bought this new house. I had an office rent of 800$ per month, plus the house mortgage. I've put both together, now I have a bigger house (my wife is happy), I now have a garage AND I an office (in the garage, with the P) I'm living the dream, living the dream.

the previous owner told me he was able to fit 2 small cars in length in the garage, so I got one length for the office (more 2/3) and one for the car with enough space around to play : )

How do you keep a garage like that clean. As soon as I get the grinder or welder out I know that desk and computer would be covered in crap.

I was thinking of building some plexi glass frosted panels with metal frames and clear logos. Even maybe one panel that could slide for the middle part.

Eric good to hear you moved into the new house. Does that mean you may have the time to help me finally install the brake line kit. Need help / Advice bleeding.

So you are looking to protect your paint?

Hey Mark, no problem with your brake line kit, but next spring : )
you should see how my paint looks now, it's much better, it just needed a professional good buff, with some touch ups. So no wasting money on a new paint for a couple of years, I've spent enough as it is on that car
