Default Porsche Martini Racing Indoor Cover?

Does anybody have one? If so, can you give feedback? It looks like it's similar to a covercraft form-fit cover (and priced like one), but would be good to know if it's nice or flimsy.

TIA

The Porsche indoor covers are great. I believe this Martini one is just special colors and markings. Form fitting. Smooth flannel like inner surface.

I just got the "regular" Porsche cover from suncoast, I think the only difference is the markings if you want to see in it person?

Correct. Very nice cover. Same thing, more $ for the graphics over the Porsche logo one.

Thanks Larry and Lex.

Yeah, it'd be good to see it but, frankly, I don't think there are many other options for the sport design duck tail. It sounds like this is what I think it is though - sort of a spandex like outside with soft underside.

I had the silver Porsche indoor / outdoor cover for my 996 and it was not particularly good (being nice there - it sucked).

Look into Carnewal covers too. Very nice. Ask Gert for the Rennlist discount.

The Sport Design package version (duck) with just the Porsche logo is cheaper. Same thing. I have it and it's A++

Holy smokes - I'm glad you guys said something. I thought the only option for the sport design duck tail was the martini racing one and didn't do enough poking around. Great to know that there's a different version with "just" the Porsche logo.

I don't hate money enough to pay 2x the price for the Martini graphics!

Sport Design package cover. Nicely fits the duck! Silky smooth!

Get the Martini one. That way when friends come over you can tell them you are storing a car for the racing team temporarily but are not allowed to remove the cover and show it.

Even long Stg, since I'm on the renew every two year plan at the effective annual rate of $16!

Although maybe Duane is right about dazzling my friends (such as they are) with the Martini cover and what may or may not lie underneath.

Anyone try the cover that STG references on a cab? I hate lint on my black top cab and not sure if these covers will do that or not. On my C7 cover, which was 300 as well, was white on the inside and transfers to the black fabric top.

Anyone know? TIA
