Well, I thought I'd change it up a bit and start a positive thread about an accessory for your car. Thanks to the Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills, CA, I was able to secure an "official" 997TT indoor dust cover for my car. The cover is beautifully made (for indoor use only) and the side that touches the car is smooth and very soft.


Thought I'd share this with you in case you'd like to buy one:

wow, now that is nice. Was it expensive?

Available at cost + 15% from Sunset Imports Porsche parts:

OEM to PAG by Andrea in Italy, and available in just about any color you want via Gert at www.carnewal.com (rennlist sponsor, good guy):

IIRC, there have been group buys from Carnewal in the past for this cover.

It was $260.00 for the cover.

I thought that is what the garage was for...

mastiffdog

Thanks, but even in the garage the car still gets dusty....you just can't win ....

So that's the exact same one Gert sells? The logo and script are nice.

This is the exact quote I received from Carnewal for either a similar cover, or the same, if this is where Porsche has them manufactured. Gert's description sounds exactly like the cover I purchased from the local Porsche dealer. Turns out to be about $350 US and a fairly long lead time:

"We have our car covers made by Confezzione Andrea in Italy. They are the official supplier of Ferrari covers. Each cover has a Porsche logo on the hood and comes in a sporty bag. The outside layer is a synthetic material while the inner layer is felt. The car cover for the 997TT is 275 Euro shipping to the US included. We don't have any of these covers in stock and it takes 5-8 weeks to order. Shipping to the US usually takes 2-3 days."

Great cover but the garage cabinets caught my eye. What brand of cabinets are those? They don't appear to be Garage Tech. Perhaps Craftsman?

mastiffdog

Thanks, but those cabinets are the standard issue grey 1/16th laminated melamine fiber board type. It's their least fancy grade. I just wanted something clean and simple...

Mastiffdog,

Just out of curiosity, what company did your garage? Looks like it came out great.

Thanks, it was "Garage Envy" out of Pasadena, CA. It is a small franchise here in Socal. Here's a link to their website:

Is the inside if the cover different material then the outside?

p.s...got enough water? lol

mastiffdog

The inside is a very soft felt material, very different from the outside.

As for the water, we have 9 dogs. We also live in earthquake country. I have been in LA for over 50 years (born in Van Nuys) and have lived through all of the earthquakes.

Trust me, you can never have enough water or supplies. It's not a matter of if it will happen, but when...
