I have used and recommend Suncoast for many things so check them out for sure.....great service.

All of my cars have always been stored under Duststop covers. I've probably owned 10 of them in the past 6 years.

I like this material because it is very lightweight yet has a flannel like underside and is thick enough to provide, not only dust protection, but a degree of protection from minor mishaps like kids brushing up against the car with a bike, etc.....

My kids have been raised around high-end cars and are very careful (yes, one more, small, way in which I've probably doomed them to therapy later in life), but sometimes their friends, who invariably end up in our garage, aren't.

I have had friends of my children lean on my cars, walk along beside them running their hands down them etc......

Look at the Porsche offering from Suncoast, but also do a search for custom Dustop covers.

Hey guys, thanks for the props!

There is a premium indoor cover, it's really attractive with a full color crest on the hood. It's a soft and stretchy material, very upscale. Here is a pic:


But this morning I found an inexpensive version (not quite as pretty, but also functional). This is a Trguard cover made specifically for the 997, it's a soft cotton-like material. This one is better for public parking garages since it's lockable. And, it's a fraction of the price! I will be adding this one to the site today, here is a picture:

I have one that I'd sell. I put an RS wing on my car and it won't fit. Bought it at Suncoast. It's been VERY RARELY used, again, because it didn't fit. I didn't want to cut such a beautiful piece.

Couldn't find any cover with the name "Duststop" in Suncoast site. Am I mistaken with the name? Any lead?

You want to be searching for "Dustop", not "Duststop"...
I have a brand new, never used OEM indoor-only cover. It has the color porsche emblem/logo and is made of lycra. Comes with Tequipment carry bag. Part #000.044.000.77.
I will sell it for $200 plus shipping.

We don't carry the Duststop, we carry the factory covers. I believe there are four versions available for the 997. If you need assistance, please let me know.




I just updated the site, this version is $95.90 plus shipping.
