I believe they are 20%, but the indoor parking garage makes it look darker.

I like it. They all have benefits and drawbacks. This one is the lightest, it has the most light (windows), the soft cover allows for additional storage, and it's cheap. I'm of the impression that hard shell ones are more aero dynamic (I lose about 4mpg and you hear noise past around 80mph), and they are faster to pop up, but are also darker, smaller, and at least twice as much. Overall, I'm happy with mine.

i have to say, you have one of the best looking 992s i have seen. the gt3-like wheels and whatever suspension you have is just spot on.

probably in the minority but i do not have ppf on mine. at almost 24k miles this is the only damage i am aware of. not sure ppf would have saved me.

i do carry a windshield repair kit and have used it twice so far.

Absolutely. PPF IS for drivers, not for garage queens. What do you need to protect a car from that doesn't get driven?

Heaters work great in these.
