Default Indoor Car cover?

Does anyone use a fitted stretch style indoor cover for a 944T? And where did you get it? Thanks!

I think you can get Porsche ones, with the crest on them from somewhere (I think there might be OEM alternatives too). I'd like to get one, but haven't so it'll be good to hear a source. I know SamGrant951 has one.

I got an indoor dust cover from Griot's Garage.

Default California Car Cover

I have used these covers for a number of cars over the years. Fit is excellent for the 951 with mirror pockets and antenna in the windshield. Noah fabric good indoors but is acceptable outdoors when necessary, though I would not recommend it for long term outdoor use. I had 944 Turbo embroidered on front in Red but didn't pay extra to have the company logo deleted.

I have an OEM one... Silver with the Porsche crest printed on in red. They're okay. Nice for keeping dust etc. off the car, and light from fading/cracking things inside the car.

It looks great next to my matching Audi cover... Makes the wife's Benz look "famine-spec" when they're both indoors and 'snuggled up under the blankets', and hers sits there shivering.

Default oem style

I have an oem car cover that I have owned for many years and it is OK. Nothing special about it (other than it is factory).

The oem cover is on the thin side and prone to slices in the material. As a matter of fact, when my garage was a bit too humid, the car cover had mold growth starting to appear between the cover and the paint. I may have contributed by placing the cover on the car when it was still warm.

Nonetheless, I was not very pleased and have not used the cover since this event.

I got mine from AutoAtlanta, all cotton, kind of expensive though, I think it was about $200. Custom made to fit 944. Obviously not good for outside.
