Best car cover for 997.1 GT3

Hey Guys, I'm in need of a car cover for the GT3. Thought I'd check out the factory car covers, but my service guy hasn't got back to me yet. I figured I would ask you kind gents for some advice

Here's a crappy iPhone pic of the Gt3. Hoping to take some real photos at some point.

Wow, nice looking GT3. I like the wheels! Sorry no car cover advice, though.

California Car Cover Company up in Chatsworth (De Soto/Plummer) makes some pretty good ones. They have a few different types depending on what you need it for. Give them a call.

I've used Covercraft covers on 4 different cars. Could not recommened them enough!! I even had one rip and they sent a brand new cover in a short amount of time. I use them for outdoor use too and if I park a car over winter if it went in clean, it comes out clean!! Simply amazing.

I have the OEM cover for the 996 GT2 and its like lingerie.
Its got a big Porsche crest in the front and the text "GT2" where the license plate is which is a nice touch.

Are you using the OEM 996 GT2 cover on your GT3? Or just stating that the OEM cover for your GT2 is badass. Just wanted clarification, since I had heard that the OEM covers were pretty good.

For indoor use I've been using my '06 997 C4S OEM cover on my '10 GT3 and on my previous '09 997.2, and 997.1 TT. It's worked well and I'd stick with the oem cover again. Then again, I have not tried any other.

The oem cover stretches well and has been washed many a time without any deterioration to the outside fabric and logos etc. Just make sure you follow the washing instructions (cool/warm temp wash).
