Question GT3 RS Car cover help, please

Can someone please point me to a car cover for the GT3 RS? I have the "dust" cover for the cup car (that fits like a glove), but I need something water/weather proof.

Thanks,
Philip

Have you contacted Gert at Carnewal? He may have what you need.

I need it in my hands within 3 days and I don't think that is possible with Gert. Thanks
Any other ideas?

Just curious, are you planning to store it outside?

Sorry, did not read the whole thing. Porsche makes a great outdoor as well.

No Berry, I need the indoor as well. I do not plan to store outside, just need protection against any possible water leak from the ceiling in my condo.

Roberga, my dealer can't find any GT3 RS cover accept the indoor "dust" cover for the cup car, which is what I already have. So does this still hold "stealer has them. call sunset in Beaverton OR", or are you saying that all they have is the dust cover? Thanks

I bought a cover from www.autochic.com and it worked very well over the winter. It's for a GT3, but they have versions for the RS. They are inexpensive as well.

Not exactly the most elegant solution, but if that's all you need it for I would consider just covering your regular dustcover with a waterproof tarp. No need to worry about snug fit/wind/etc. if it's just sitting safely in your garage for a while.

they should have one the works. Mine was for the 996GT3 and I have used it with the rs wing. Snug in the rear but does work. I have not used it in a while. I would be willing to let you use it for a while. Just sent it back with the construction is done.
