Where does one find a "Custom Fit" cover ? Not a Generic multi fit, a cover designed explicitly for a 914 ?

Yes, bought it back in 2009 from them. It is the custom 914 cover and fits quite well. The mirrors need to be folded in since it's a fairly tight fit.

Mine is a storm weave and with a 4 year warranty. Price was about $250 and then got a Hagerty 20% discount.

I snagged it before the bumper was on my car and I tore it. They sewed in a new panel, no questions asked.

Are you looking for an inside or outside cover?
Also decide whether or not you want mirror pockets.

I cover mine with the cover from our 997.2 4S coupe which we sold about 2 years ago. The cover fits it perfectly and goes all the way to the ground, all the way around the car. Of course I only cover it in the garage so there is no wind or rain to deal with. My brother and I have commented several times on how nice it fits the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I've got a $30 one sized for a boxster.. Fits the 914 and now its on the black 944 NA in the garage...

Would I put it outside? No, but inside I dont see the issue...

I have an older Coverking too.. With hole for the antenna but no mirror pocket. Works well. But my car is indoors.. I've used ones not custom fit for indoor applications and they were fine too.

I just got one of the Coverking ones for my 914 and my 928. They are the padded ones so just in case someone drops something on it is protected somewhat. PERFECT FIT . $300 from the Bird

engine lid is up. Car on battery tender
