Looks like this can be retrofit to #1 cars too!

Looks like it kills the rear defroster when installed. It is cool nonetheless. Thanks for sharing

$2,300 to save six pounds? Most of us could stand to skip a few meals and shed that much for free.

At least 6lbs!

There was a yellow "T" at the car show in Toronto last week. That glass is weird. Sounds/looks/feels like plastic.

Or you could buy a no-sunroof car, save twice the money, and three times the weight, and have a car that looks better, too!

Deleted from my build. Not worth it for me

I think you did right. It's just not worth it. Maybe quite fragile too. However, for resale could it be negative???

It's not even glass, it's a plexiglass (So plastic). You have to be so careful cleaning it and maintaining it because it'll scratch so much easier than the standard tempered glass they use. Eventually they'll develop the haze from all the micro scratches. This is probably why it's not offered in US 911 T because I think it wouldn't fly with current DOT standards

Maybe, but I have a feeling that my RWD manual car with base radio and no sunroof or front seat heaters is going to be the real reason I will have a hard time selling it in the midewest. As you can see, if I was buying it for resale, I would have to add PDK + a bunch of expensive options that would end up depreciating anyway. So it would be a wash...
I also didn't go hardcore and didnt spec the buckets or RAS. Just configured the car to my needs and budget and called it a day. Figured if the GTS doesn't have the LW glass and sounds great with the diminished insulation, the T should be similar. I really think they have the same exhaust setup except the GTS is louder.

Having said that, if it wasn't my daily driver I would've kept the glass just to show it off. I would like knowing it's there

Carrera T glass is supposed to be Gorilla Glass (real, enhanced silicon glass), not plexiglass (acrylic):

Either Suncoast has the description wrong (most likely), or this is a different part (Or, I suppose, Porsche marketing could be wrong).

For $2,300 I'll hire a personal body guard/trainer to stand inbetween me and the cookie jar.

Rennolazine

That would be one for the books For 2300 one can also get a non valved exhaust which should save at least 15 lb (twice the glass difference) and add sound and ponies....

Both this: https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...RSRWINDOW.html
and this: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991GTRWL.html
are described as 'lightweight plastic'.

The standard specification glass in the T and GT2RS in Euroland is described as 'lightweight glass', not plastic, not this Suncoast stuff - I hope.
