If you use a car cover make damn sure the car is clean, it's not windy and no dust gets under the cover. Car cover + wind + dust = color sanding you don't want.

Take a look at the options from Coverking. (Link) I bought the "stormproof" custom-fit for a 914 from Autopartswarehouse.com (search for part # C37CVC2SP98PR2568).
Satisfied with it so far, but most of the time it's on the car inside an open-sided carport, so it's not really being tested. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Stormproof is the best I've had. Now they're on all my cars and my bike.
Search... there was a thread on this subject 2 months ago or so. |

I've been through a bunch of shitty ones before I landed on these... if that tells you anything.

Where are you primarily storing the car? That's a big factor.

Coverking makes a 914 fitted cover. Best I've ever had and the car is outside a lot. Minor gripe. No Mirror pocket. Have to fold the mirror in.

I'm in agreement with the full cover........Unless you can get
a Porsche correct script full cover!! for the 914..they are not cheap, not sure what they cost now....but I'm happy with the 1 I have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) P.S they have the pocket's for the outside mirrors! |
