Default outdoor car cover for 986

Can anyone recommend a good outdoor car cover for a 986? I saw the Porsche brand one (Article no. 987 044 000 02) and I'd prefer to have something more discrete without the logo on it.

I've been googling around and not found anything I liked yet. I would like to find a nice form fitting cover for a 986, like the name brand, just no logo.

Help?

Did you try talking to the dealer? Maybe they can order one for you or give you the name of the jobber?

Yes I did in fact. They can easily get the Porsche branded one, but no others. It only comes with the logo on it which I don't want, plus I'm sure I can get a decent cover for less than the $200+.

I don't mean to make a big deal about it, but this is the first car in a very long time I've actually cared about caring for.

but it is a big deal, you need to protect that car from the outdoors.

Maybe at first. And when you start driving in DEs, you'll cover half the car in racers or painters tape. Then you'll 'graduate' into covering the front end with giant MagBra sheets. Then you'll concede and acknowledge that a few stone chips, etc. are a badge of honor, and you'll go 'naked'

Perhaps,

Elsewhere I said I want to try DE due to some compelling reasons and I still do, but I also want to keep my 'new car' "new" for awhile. I won't realistically be tracking it until late fall or even spring time.
