Indoor car covers

I'm looking for a recommendation for an indoor car cover for my 997.2 Turbo. Several I've seen are too snug. Thanks.

If you are looking for a "dust cover" I prefer the DuPont Tyvex cover....on eBay for $59. They are very light, have elastic on the bottom edge, but I cut the elastic and use it as a drape. The more you wash it the softer it becomes.

Is it pretty....NO. Is it a great cover for dust in the garage....Yes.

I use OEM. Fits snug and a softer material.

I've seen them advertised at Suncoast Porsche. Yours looks like the one they advertised. It being that snug doesn't scratch the paint? Thanks.

No it doesn’t scratch the paint.

The inside of the cover is a soft “felt” like material that slides over the car without drag.

The seams around the mirrors are the weakest link as the passengers side mirror seam has torn a bit.

My car has the Aero package (big wing) so I went with CoverKing's satin-stretch custom build for a GT3, and it's perfect. Great quality, highly recommend.

OEM one (for the factory Aerokit) as I didn't want to take a chance with an aftermarket one not fitting as I thought the GT3 wing stands up quite a bit higher than the TT Aerokit spoiler.
