Default Anyone selling a car cover?

Not sure if this applies in any way shape or form. But when i got my 996 i was going to buy an original covers. However most of the reviews were horrible. Several people said to go with Cover King. My car is always in doors at night so i purchased a "Moving Blanket" since i watched their video on the website and it mimics my life. I would have to murder my wife or kids if the hurt my car. Anyways, it was around $300.00 and was custom made to my car. Took a month but was well worth it.

Excellent advise, I will look into it. I also keep it indoors so I am just looking for something light duty. Basically to keep dust off it.

Here is the link to a great video. This is the same "moving blanket" i purchased. For some reason Pelican parts sells it under a different name and charges a lot more. Go directly to Cover Kings website.

How much for the outdoor one? Willing to ship to Seattle? I may be in the market. I am not real happy with the one I bought. It is leaving a filmy residue all over the car. I have washed it out with soap and water and still leaves some slimy film--I need to throw it away.

Found this on Craigslist. No connection with the seller.

I picked up one of the $99 Triguard indoor covers from Suncoast. It works well for indoor storage. I got that aerokit version (and it doesn't fit the RS wing, by the way - I didn't expect it to). Close enough for me (just keeps the dust off).
