In my view, it's this one from Gert : http://www.carnewal.com/products/All...r-Cover-Indoor

I've got 3 of them (two I use regularly, one brand new on the shelf) - they do a great job protecting the car, fit perfect and have held up perfectly even with years of use.

I have an OEM Porsche crested car cover that came with my '98 C4S; I haven't taken it out of the bag as I drive my cars year round. It's yours for $200.

But wait there's more:

The car came with a front end CAR BRA! I'll throw this in the deal at NO CHARGE!!!

That's not all!

Included in this one time offer is an early '80's era looking CUPHOLDER that drops right into the rear tray console space.

And if you think this isn't the deal of the day....

SHIPPING via UPS ground will be included.

This one time offer is available for a limited time so act now!!

But wait...there's MORE!!

Act before midnight December 1st and we'll throw in a '98 C4S for a small $44K buyers premium

Finally took it out of the bag, not sure, but it appears to be and indoor-outdoor one, it has some soft lining on the inside and some tie-down grommets along the bottom edge.

I have the same cover; works well. It's gotten a little dirty/sticky over time and was wondering what was the best way to clean it; thinking to either wash while on car and hang over fence to dry or bring to laundry and put into front loading commercial machine and then dry on very low setting. Thoughts ?

Take it from me. Do not put it in any sort of washing machine. Mine came apart into a million shiny pieces which I still find on clothes from time to time. I would wash it on the car with a sponge and soap and let dry naturally.

Do any of these covers accommodate a rear Turbo S wing?

Yes. The one I purchased for Gert fit the wing perfectly.

Same here. Good quality and ultra soft. I got mine from AutoAnything when they had a sale on and free shipping.

My other choice would be the one from Gert Carnewal.

The Gert one is nice but pretty pricey! The stock silver cover doesn't quite fit on a TT, It will but just barely
