Car cover buy
 

About a month ago we had a discussion about car covers and Nine8Six showed off his cover and offered to work with a group buy:

Here's one of his pictures from that thread.

I've decided to take him up on his offer. I'm planning to pay for up to 20 and have them shipped to me. Once I receive them, I can ship them out at cost. This is not going to happen quickly - probably final delivery up to two months from now.

If you are seriously interested in getting one of the covers, let me know in this thread. No guarantee (or commitment) at this point, but I'll give priority based on who signs up first. I am not taking any money or making the buy list official until I have the car covers in hand. I am planning to get 15 silver and 5 black and plan to keep at least two for myself. If there's more demand and it all goes smoothly, I'm willing to do another order after.

Not sure of end price yet, but from what was already discussed in posts I expect under $70 for a good quality cover plus actual shipping cost. I prefer to keep this buy USA only for simplicity. Maybe we can get a parallel run in Canada if anyone is willing to handle the reshipment.

Fred is ordering me a sample and when it arrives (2-3 weeks?), I'll give more details. :cheers:

Jon - 2 for me please.

Rick

1 for me as well please.

I will take one in silver.

I will also take one in silver.

I would be interested...keep me in the loop!

Thanks for doing this! I'll take 1 in silver.

Thanks for the response. I want to keep this simple, but Fred mentioned:
I plan to have them all the same in this order, but I'm open to getting a custom logo on all of them if we have a consensus. Let us know if you have an awesome idea - model specific or forum related? Otherwise, I'm very happy with the emblem as on Fred's.

Any interest in black? I can go all silver. The though is that black is good for an indoor cover/shaded area/winter.

I'm in for a black one...

One in black, please!

Perry

I'm in for one! Black please.

I'll take one, color doesn't matter, it will be for the garage.

Jim

Thanks to Jon for offering his kindness to the community! Sure some will appreciate bud :cheers:

I've ordered the 2 samples you've requested this afternoon and likely to receive those during the beginning on the coming week. This will be FW your way as soon as they come in.

** Reminding ppl that the black is NOT for sunny outdoor, unless of course the car is kept in complete shades all day long (like mine), then it would be okay **

In that case I better make mine silver

I want a silver one for a 996
My Boxster lives in the garage, the Targa outside

I'd be in for one in black. Keep me in the loop please. And thanks!

Fred, thank you for making this available for us and Your amazing innovation and support of the community. I'm really excited to receive the samples and will post some pictures when they arrive.

No. Absolutely not. Put your 996 in the garage and get a cover for your Boxster. ...well ...Fred, since he mentioned this in the original thread I'm willing to make an exception if you can handle it there in Shanghai.

The response is good enough that I will stick with my original plan of 15 silver 5 black. In a month or two when I have the covers, I'll plan to pm the first people who responded to see who is actually buying. Then if there are any left, I'll make them available on the forum.
:cheers:

Thanks to YOU Jon, not me! Just passing on the lead...

Sellers keeps asking me what is the custom logo you want. Not sure why (this eve, he texted me, again). Already told him 3x we want them exactly like mine with the badge and the P lettering. My wife deducted that it is his way to show that he wants you guys to be super happy.... 'so we can buy more from him' LOL Cool dudes here I tell ya

Ill take one too

Silver for me.

I'm in for a silver 986 cover

I'm in for a silver if/when available.

Please put me down for one. I prefer black but silver is just as good.

That pretty much fills my order of 20 considering two for myself.
I am expecting 2 samples, one black, one silver, so there is a little buffer.

No commitment or guarantee, but these people get first call. Anyone else who wants to add is welcome and will be put on as a standby.

18 (Plus 2)/ 5 Black, the rest Silver.

Let me know if I have any errors, or you want an adjustment.

Thanks :cheers:

Samples received
 

Jon, received those 2 for you today. Only one problem... the P lettering on the silver cover is white. I've asked the seller if he can print this in black for the remaining 15 silver covers - awaiting his answer (he is not happy lolll). He did in fact asked us to supply our logo and that is the reason why he asked me 3x I guess :/ oops

Anyway, still looking good, just being picky. Also asked him to supply "all the carry bags" in black because the silver cover came in a navy blue bag (unacceptable LOL). That one he already agreed on.

Pic of the straps that attaches to the wheel spokes below (x4). Cool set-up, super light, nice Boxster Car Saturday Night Dresses. You'll like them I'm sure.

Actually I have a perfect car to receive the super exclusive 'White Letter Edition" Silver cover. It already has a similar logo on the amazing illuminated wind deflector (Bi-Xenon GT Projectors temporarily removed until I polish them again and use a good UV sealer).

All in all, it looks great and I can't wait to try it out. :D

Non-update update:
This is still in the works. Currently still waiting to receive the samples. Delivery times of these parcels from China can be pretty inconsistent, but I'm starting to wonder if it's lost in the mail. I'm not going to pester Fred at the moment because he seems quite busy, and so far all that's invested in this is his time. Patience.

I am up for a silver one when available.

I would also be interested. Silver or Black - don't care about lettering color.
Thanks!

How did I miss this thread? :eek: I would be interested in a Silver cover if there is another run or someone cancels!

I just messaged Fred that I give up. Back in early February I had the time and energy to deal with it all, but there is too much else going on for me now. I still have not even received the sample (which I still expect in the mail every day). If anyone else wants to take this up as a group buy, please do so. I still have full faith in Fred and I will post pics and a review of the two covers I have paid for when I receive them.
