This is my thoughts and was just going to post it, in that picture it does look weird but in person I think it looks fine.

Yeah looks like a 991 is not a bad thing here.

$3420 for it is the worst part, especially just for aesthetics.


It should be noted that I have a ballpark figure in my head that I am attempting to stay within in order to minimize the additional money I will have to pay forward, including state vehicle sales tax.

I am seeking opinions on sunroofs. I did not equip the T with one given the T ethos is about lightweight and performance. With the S being up market it is probably best to spec one of these. At least with the metal option, it’s still stays aluminum and keep the lines of the roof body color.

Yup. That definitely sucks.

It's funny that on the 718 the Sport Design package takes you in the other direction (included in the GTS).

If I ever have an option for no sunroof I would choose no sunroof

Meh… 992 resales are pretty much unaffected when traded back to a Porsche dealer. I am being given more for the T than the Monroney.

Edit: By the way, this is one of the reasons I have not shared the build specs because I knew there were going to be multiple changes before the build actually freezes.
