How about a black leather bra?

For the car... with matching mirror covers. No? Ok just tossing that out there in case (someone PM me if interested).

Not sure on the logo, but I got my cover from carcoversdirect.com (If I recall the address correctly) Excellent quality, shipped to my door, and I even had them customize it for the 6 inch flares I had on the car! Fit great!

You can get great car covers from Gert at Carnewal.

I just came across one in my garage this last weekend. I'd like to sell it, but I need to check it out first. If I remember correctly, silver/grey with logo.

I got one from 928 Motorsports that's made for '44s and its been great so far.

The fit is quite well, seems to be better than what they have in their pictures. No Porsche Crest, though

I have thought about and looked for this or something like it for a while.

Look for a custom fit Cover Craft.

Mine for the garage is an old and excellent custom made one by Beverly Hills Motor Accessories. I think they were bought or became Cal Cover. Might also try Beverly Hills Motorsport if they are still around. Cant say as to price.

If you find one like these, snag it. It is the best for paint etc but not for outside. In the signature BHMA blue.

If you do get one please post it up.

I just finished renovating the garage from my new home, my 51 as finally a home, and me, my office (in the garage, with the p). Clients can come visit me from time to time, and yeah, I want my p to be well dress. That's why I'm so specific about the cover. So looking for indoor quality, protect the paint, and look good.

I went to the p dealer in Montreal for the release of the panamera about 2 years ago. Before the president finished is speach in front of about 1000 people, all the p's where covered with those nice silver covers with the p logo up front, it looked pretty nice.
There was about 6 panerama In the garage, when the pres finished is speech, all 6 paneramas where unwrap at the same time... Tada!

Do you want your clients to know you drive a "porsche"? maybe they think they are overpaying you. I'd go simple, unadorned.. not everyone should need to know whats in your garage. Costco cover works fine for me.

But it's a 25 years old p! That's what I tell everybody. But I never tell how much I've put in sine I got it

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

Ah, looks like that has been changed. I'm using a Stormguard and when I purchased it, the logo was an option.

Mine's outdoor quality though.
