Default What car cover is best?

I would like to buy a car cover for my GT3 RS. for indoor use and to keep the dust off and serve some protection against dings. Can anybody give some recommendations on which one to get and where to get it from?

I think the Cup Car cover is supposed to fit as well -- part no 997 721 050 90 -- you may need to order it through Porsche Motorsport in Santa Ana.

Aren't you worried about scratches from the cover?

I just received my custom car cover from www.autochic.com it fits my 997 gt3rs perfectly. It has a solar and water resistant exterior and a very soft velour interior liner to protect and not scratch. It took about 3 weeks to make and ship. Very nice very worth the money.

what is the cost of the Porsche ones vs aftermarket and your assessment of the quality? do they have the Porsche logo on them? I would think the aerokit version is designed for a smaller wing and the cup version would probably be wider.

The Porsche Cup cover from PMNA was $410.49 plus tax. Part number of 997-721-050-90 noted above is corrrect. Your dealer can order as well. I have one new one I will sell for $400 plus shipping. I will attach a photo shortly (of the cover on my old RS).
