Just a sheet of black nylon fabric with an insert layer(gray). Ultra-light, fit in a small 12"x12" carry bag, dries up instantly, car breath fully, and typhoon resistant. Ties up to the spokes of each wheel with dbl-straps. Can see some sexy shapes when installed also

Custom made $66. How many we need?

Can you get it in white? The Texas sun would heat that black right up in the summer.

Same for me here in SoCal, it would be perfect for the track in white.

I want one in reflective silver. In the summer bugs instantly die when they land on my black box. Not that that's a bad thing but you get the idea...

You realize those are not waterproof, but then you wouldn't want that for a sport-car cover anyway. The whole idea is to have them dry-up as fast as they wet. The wind is also an issue: waterproof/multi-layers car covers will act as a parachute for your car in case of strong wind lolll

Saying not waterproof; well, nearly is in practice. 98% of the water bounce right off it and drip around the car instead. You get the idea. You can spray them with Camping Tent Silicon spray if you are really concerned about water but by all means, do not use a fully waterproof cover for any of your car man (eg. those advertised with super thick multi-layers at $80 bucks each, beware)

The one here is a dust cover, is what they are really. UV protection, etc.

New to the forum, but have been lurking for a bit. Just bought a 2002 boxster S last month. I registered to say i'd buy that cover at $66.
