Default Need your advice on which indoor car cover to buy please..

I am keeping my new GT3 (arriving in a few weeks) in my garage and I travel a lot.

Down to

1. Suncoast OEM Inddor Cover with Porsche Crest on the front
2. Dustop- from several websites

Dustop seems to be amazing with 4 layers and made to spec to fit the 997.2 GT3.

I cant seem to find out much info on the cover from Suncoast (spoke to one of the guys and he wasnt quite sure about the materials, etc in the cover) but did say its recommended by Porsche.

Any insight out of these two, what I should be looking to go with.

Thanks in advance.

I have an OEM indoor cover, and it is very good.

I also really like my cover from Gert at Carnewal. Expensive, but super nice!

Go with option 1, oem. My dealer through one in when I purchased the car. Soft underside, fits like a glove and looks good.

I bought the 4 layer aftermarket and used it once, then bought the OEM with the hood logo.
The indoor OEM is waaay better, softer material and has a Logo!!

wanna buy my 4 layer, it's brand new
