Car Cover?

You guys know where is the good place to get the Custom Fit Car Cover for our car? I like the one like those F car had from factory with the Logo, not sure if Porsche make the similar one or I am better off getting it from an aftermarket source! Anyone with picture? or link? Thanks.


Found this from the Porsche site, if it is black it will be nice.

Bought mine from califonia car cover, as they were only one with GT-2 pattern at that time. Very light, not for wet use, machine washable and no logo. Around $300+

Porsche Tequipment makes a car cover like the one on the pic!! It is a stretchy material outside with felt lining inside and a nice Colored logo/crest on the front and even says 'turbo' on the bottom of chin spoiler and "PORSCHE' on the ***!!
It is a Euro part number and you can get it from Gert or Sunset Imports...
Here is the part number for a regualr TT cover (non aerokit - for aerokit Porsche says to use the GT2 cover!!) 000.044.000.50 (for GT2 cover, part number is same except last 2 digits are 57)

Contact Gert -- he can get you the Car Cover by Andrea -- available in black. This is the company that makes the factory car covers for Ferrari. Below are photos of their "indoor" cover, which has a very soft felt underside -- car cover comes with a very nice zippered storage bag.

Bought mine from CA car cover. Gert's obviously good too. Bought several things from him.

BEWARE: The exhaust is freaking hot. Like an idiot I burned/melted the crap out of my first cover (two nice big holes) by putting in on all the way after driving the car. Now I put it on only part way down the rear bumper until the car has had a chance to cool.

You should never put on the cover unless the car has just been cleaned. It is very easy to mis-use a car cover and cause swirl marks/scratches.

In that case Dan, I don't think any of us would ever actually get to use the cover. Unless the car is real dirty, I'll still use mine indoors and try not to drag it across the paint.
