Default Car cover
Hello All,
Seeking recommendations on an indoor car cover for my 2017 991.2. I’ve seen the Porsche covers for over $350. Hoping someone has an alternate option that doesn’t demand so much coin and still provide good quality.
Thanks

Carnewal. Also not cheap, but you get more color selections, and still get the big Porsche crest on the hood. Ask for the Rennlist discount.

You can get the satin covers on ebay for less than $175, which is what I use. Here is one example and they can be had in several colors: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2014-20...8AAOSw8w1X9ppz

Got mine from Suncoast for $290 plus shipping. Total $303. Lex knows his stuff so I'd check out his recommendation first.

Here is another satin one on Amazon for a little more with great reviews. No need to spend more than $200 for a nice indoor cover with mirror pockets:

I bought the outdoor one from Suncoast for $279, even though I use it indoors. This is a very good deal for a custom cover that has mirror pockets and was sized exactly for the 911. It also has an integrated storage bag that is sewn onto the cover itself, a very nice Porsche Crest on the hood, and a clear window for the rear license plate.

I have also bought a generic version from CarCovers.com for about $180 (for another car). Nice cover but Chinese made and sloppy fit. No mirror pockets.

Bought a "custom" Autobody Armor outdoor rated cover from Car Cover World for yet another car and this is US made but very pricey at over $400. Heavier than the Porsche but I have to say the Porsche one fits just as good or better, and is lighter and easier to remove and place on the car. Custom fitted to the car with mirror pockets.

I use the Form-Fit Cover from Griots. Super-soft, elastic, fits perfectly. But, it's not cheap.

A 997.2 cover was just posted in the Marketplace for $175. For that price it may fit "close enough".

It'll probably be a big 'baggy' since the 991 is (according to some) so big and fat.

I have this one from Covercraft for my 991.1. Covercraft Custom Fit Car Covers Dustop Taupe (C17500TS).

This is my second Covercraft Dustop, first was for a Cayman S. Great indoor cover in my opinion and under $200.
