Default Car covers

There are 100's of expensive and budget car covers on the market and most all say they offer the same protection. Weather Tech sells one for around $450
or buy one on Ebay for $60 or less. What is the best value for an outdoor cover?

For indoor....
I'm posting because I'm thinking someone is interested on the indoor covers too as I was.
I'm using a red satin Ferrari California cover. It fits beautifully and it was cheap. I bought it from eBay $200 shipped. Unless if it'll bother you it's not Porsche I highly recommended. I'll take some pics later and post it if you want to see it.
Not sure about outdoor covers, sorry.

I'm in the same boat, endless searching trying to figure out which cover(s) to buy just for indoor use. Prices are all over the map, no idea which one to pull the trigger on.

When anyone gets to the of that path, let me know. I just keep buying the cheap ones and they basically survive about 9 months outside in SD.

Front,
Even the mirrors fit perfectly
Ohh, and you are welcome. I know few people will snag these off of eBay.

My son has a cover king for his 944 and it is nice. But expensive

However for less than a third of the price I have this.

Amazon.com: Leader Accessories Xguard 5 Layers Waterproof Breathable Outdoor Indoor Car Cover(cars up to 16'8"(200")): Automotive Amazon.com: Leader Accessories Xguard 5 Layers Waterproof Breathable Outdoor Indoor Car Cover(cars up to 16'8"(200")): Automotive

I've had it on a couple of cars and very happy, fits the 928 well.

@ Madturk: Are you sure that “Italian” horse doesn’t fight the Porsche one at night???

My car came with a genuine Porsche cover that fits like a glove, with a cable lock. Very flattering. Don't know anything else about it. Kinda says "Steal me!" so I'd hesitate to use it outdoors in a public area for that reason alone.

If someone offered to trade me a new belly pan for it, I'd refuse.

I have been using the $29 cheapie from Costco for years, both indoors and out. Works great, fits well (Size M) and the price is right!
