Hi the cover is a form fit model by covercraft here in Sydney Australia but I am pretty sure they are a global company. The cover actually gets supplied with a little grommet for the antenna to go through, but given stereo's add weight, my car doesn't have one, so yes I just removed the antenna. The cover is superb, even with little custom wings for the mirrors. It is not normally or I gues from stock available in 2 tone , but hey just ask. Cost a bit though. Over 500 USA dollars.

The driest holiday season in a long time with very cold mornings and somewhat warm and sunny afternoons. The car got pressed into service as high speed wine delivery vehicle. I never cease to be amazed at the number of cases of wine you can in a 968 with the rear seats folded down.
You just can beat a run through the backroads on a cold, clear morning.

Gee Chris, wouldn't you want a "cab" to deliver wine?

Actually, now that you mention it a 19 year "cab" ain't half bad.

So I scored a bunch of gifts for BigSpeed:
- New Fikse FM10 wheels
- Rod bearings
- 650 lbs springs for the front
- Full chassis realignment and corner balance
- Fixed polybronze bushings by the torque tube
- New header - RS Barn - old one for sale with crack welded
- Stripped off all the decals and will have the exterior and interior painted - then wrap the exterior with something awesome (C'mon - I know the current look is pretty lame. And those Kodiak rims look ass...even though they weigh 17 lbs.)

Thanks Andy, mine has some cracking in the rubber and I was concerned about putting to much pressure on it. I'll give it a go. The car came with a very nice cover for indoor use and thought it would help keep the dust off between drives.
