Porsche sells covers -- two, I think, one for indoors and one for outdoors. I got the outdoors one (I think, about $180) from the dealer when I first got the car but returned it after a few days. Even the smallest invisible specks of dust can marr the finish when pressed by the cover. I asume you'd be looking for an outdoors cover. Those are even heavier. When it rains you also have to worry about trapped humidity issues under the cover.

All in all, it appears that covers would do more damage than good to the car. Nothing protects better than a good coat of wax or sealant, and some rubber/vinyl/leather protectant. For the dash and the interior you can also use those windshield sun-protectors.

Just my two cents.
