Thanks RL...they turned out just okay as I didn't push the ultimate finish that would have necessitated multi fill/sand coats as you know they are not a real smooth finish to start but as I say I when I ordered the car I chose painted front/side/rear glossy trims so in keeping with that I thought they would look odd in the flat painted look that they come as...

...I even priced out a "presentation" cover..
Someone tipped me off to the "Eastwood Super Stretch Indoor Car Cover"... I ordered one and have been using it on my 996 Turbo which isn't getting as much use these days.

Really nicely made, super soft, stretchy, light, rolls up compact, just perfect for a dust cover. Best of all, really inexpensive compared to other options at ~$75! They were only $60 when I ordered mine a couple of months ago, stupid cheap, but they just raised their prices... Still the best deal around for a quality cover.

I was more than impressed when it arrived.

(medium size is perfect for our cars)

Sorry, generic picture. Will have to grab one of mine covering the Turbo.

I briefly had a look and the installation instructions - hopefully I do not destroy anything when I install them this weekend. Seems fragile and fiddly.

I just ordered the Zunsport as well. They don't look too difficult after watching the video. We'll see once they arrive.

The Zunnsport grills? If so, those are very easy to install. I am a 2 on a scale of 1-10 and i did them just fine. A smidge fiddly but not difficult.

And a somewhat better shot of the GT3RS side skirts... They absolutely look like they were made for the car, blends the front and rear fender arches perfectly.

Completely agree - and once you get the side scoops, the look will be complete...

Agreed, the more aggressive side skirts with the larger scoops will look great.
