Um, you bought a 2013 Boxster and you are worried about the price of the OEM cover??

Hello, first time post. I got a cover from Custom Covers for cars, trucks and SUVs from Covercraft for my 2001 Boxster. I bought the Noah cover, little higher cost but fits like a glove and keep car dry. Very nice cover for the price.

You will be much happier with the fit and looks of the OEM cover. I've tried after market ones priced in the $150-$200 range and was not happy. After market ones always left a powdery particles on the car each time I took them off. OEM is very easy to take off and fold due to design compared with 3rd party.

In most cases I would say you can get by with an aftermarket cover, but in the case of your Boxster you really should pop for OEM, it really does make a difference (it's not like buying Q-tips or generic ear swabs where it really doesn't matter). Just suck it up and chunk up the dough, you won't regret it.

I absolutely agree OEM is the way to go, here the climate can be harsh, and with the silverguard finish reflecting the sunshine it's amazing how cool the interior remains.
