Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I will start out by saying that I am not upset nor really expected anything more but I was going to be leaving my 2003 C4S in my sisters driveway in LA for 3 weeks and I only have an indoor cover. So I went on e-bay and found a cover specifically listed for a 2001-2005 996 Turbo / C4S. So I orderd it and it came in 2 days. The price was $50 plus shipping for a grand total of $68. Well, as you can see it is not very fitted, at all.... I might as well cover my car with a sheet. I would be really pissed if I orderd this to serve as my everyday cover but It will serve the purpose I got it for and keep the sun, ASH... and dust off my car for the time being. So, if anywone is looking for a good quality fitted car cover I would reccomend you stick with Performance Products or another reputable source. This is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for"

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmnnn, I am in Phoenix and my brother in law put it on. I wonder...That would be funny. I have a fitted cover at home and I don't think I would be able to get it on backwards though. I will ask him.

POST 4Original post

Maybe the cover is for a riced-up 996 with huge wings, butts, and coffee-can exhaust tips, instead of a beautiful unmolested C4S... ;-)

POST 5Original post

Look on the bright side, it looks like a Nissan Altima under the cover so no one will bother with it.

POST 7Original post

If O.J.'s glove fit like that, he would have been convicted!

I can't even tell the front from the back of the car under that cover!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My other cover fits as so...

POST 10Original post

...looks like the mirror pockets are oriented to the back of the car. Do this before any further assessment: Remove the cover - lie it on the ground or have two assistants hold it 'in place' Back the car out and turn it around Re-enter the parking spot by 'backing in' Replace cover and reassess fit

POST 11Original post

Is it fleece lined inside? if not I tried that one and sent it back for another one that was a better 4 layer and 40 bucks more, but the fit is about the same as yours which is more universal but at least it fits over my aftermarket foil. I needed it for some protection from the elements and the way it looks now no one knows what kinda car is underneath that maybe a benefit also "Stealth". I had a neighbor that "had" a nice California car cover for outdoor and it lasted about 3 weeks before being ripped off.

POST 13Original post

Funny comment on the Altima cover. I have one on my '88 Carrera and it fits better than any generic cover. One mirror pockets is out of place, otherwise you would think it's a 911 cover (almost). It hangs on the car level and doesn't touch the ground anywhere. It would actually be just about perfect if I had a ducktail. I don't think the OP's cover will ever fit well, but as he says, for a few weeks at $68, he's good. I bet he gets his money back if he sells.

POST 14Original post

I use one that I bought in 1987 for a 928 I had at the time. Doesn't fit perfect, but the price is right.
