Default Car cover recommendation for 997.2 gt3

Guys - what are you using to cover your GT3s indoors? I want a fitted one that will not scratch the paint. Does not need to be weatherproof.

Better yet, if one of you has one you don't use, I may be a buyer.

Thanks in advance.

A little pricy but it is spectacular.

But unless you go through long winters with snow where you don't use the car for months, they are a waste of time IMO... My car is either dirty and therefore not coverable or it isn't clean for long enough beween uses to go to the trouble of covering and uncovering....

I cover mine with dust, dirt, and chunks of rubber off the tires of the car in front of me

Mine is a track car, but its also a $150+K car that I like to take care of.

911rox is right though, there is limited utility to covering a car that gets driven regularly. You can't cover it when it is dirty, and the car gets dirty enough to be uncoverable with very little driving.

I clean/detail my car myself, and I use it to keep dust off the car between "sessions" of cleaning, which I don't really have the time or patience to do all in one go. That said, my garage (until now, I just moved) was very poorly sealed and got a LOT of dust. Probably I don't have much need for cover now.

I also went with this cover. It fits like a glove and looks fantastic with the Porsche logo. If my GT3 is going to sit for a bit, I'll have it washed and use the cover. It prevents dust and dirt from the garage, and 'mild' protection against the kids bikes, garbage cans, etc. It breathes very well. The bag it comes in looks cool, but falls apart after a few squeezes.

Also, I bought it at the factory, and the US price is cheap by comparison.
