Default WTB: 997.2 GT3 RS Outdoor Cover

I need an outdoor cover for a 997.2 GT3 RS that on a rare occasion may need to be outside. I have been able to buy an indoor one, but I can only find a 991 GT3/RS outdoor cover from Porsche or Suncoast. Does anyone have a proper-fitting outdoor cover for sale or know where I can buy one otherwise?

Thank you in advance!

Carl

I don’t think this is OEM Porsche, but may want to see if this will fit a .2. I think the .2 wing is a little bigger. For reference, I use a 997.2RS indoor car cover on my 997.1 GT3. I actually prefer it as you have a bit more room and it isn’t quite as tight. I’ve been happy with the fit.

Thanks. I assume you have it for your car. If so, do you have any pics with it on?

Sorry I don't have any pics. Back in 2011 it was the only "made to measure" cover I was able to find.

Do the quotes for "outdoor" suggest that it doesn't work very well?

Porsche OEM sold both premium indoor and outdoor, I bought the premium outdoor (even though I was using it indoor) thinking it would be higher quality than the indoor version. It's really thin so I had a California Car Cover made that I use for my other cars for my RS.

I use the suncoast outdoor 991.1 RS cover on my 997.2RS and love it. Fits great. For some reason my photos are not uploading so if you want to see a pic send me a PM.

Don't second guess it get the suncoast outdoor cover for 991.1RS. Silver and has the nice zipper case built in.

Got it, thanks again. I think I'll likely try another option.
