car cover for GT2

Greetings. Could I hear recommendations on car cover and supplier source that nicely fit 996 GT2? From my web-surfing it seems I should expect same cover as 996 turbo with the aerokit wing. Thanks.

I purchased one from California Car cover. They have one listed specifically for the GT2 and it fits perfect.

The factory cover is crazy tight even on the TT...there is some slack in the spoiler area, so i wonder if that same factory cover is for the GT2? either way, i would say avoid it...its way too tight on the fenders.

Perfect but pretty snug i would assume - like over the intercooler intakes mine is wicked snug...scares me (but not as much as not putting it on i suppose)? I figured it would fit, cause even with the spoiler up there is still some room in that area of the cover.

I was also looking for a GT2 cover, so what is the consensus, OEM cover or another company?

OEM cover is nice and soft, but I agree that it's a little snug. I have the Aerokit - my front lip spoiler cannot fit under the cover, and the rear is very tight. Obviously make sure that you always put the cover only on a clean car, and you should have no problems with scratching etc.

+1 on the Cal car cover. I bought a Plushweave in Gray, with embroidering for $205.00. It fits snug, but not tight.

Ditto on the Cal Car Cover, I have bought them for all of my Porsches.
Great Quality and options.
