Both CVS and Walgreen sell polarizing clip ons for your glasses. They come in different shapes and sizes. I was amazed how nicely they fit my prescription glasses.

Same. My 13 had full Luxor interior and, while sometimes noticeable, it didn't bother me at all. I got used to it after a while.

Never had polarized shades back then. But, confirmed that these will help you, OP!

My wife uses those. They work great. Apart from cheapness, when I had prescription sunglass, the prescription seemed slightly diff to me. And, I got OCD about it, and every time I would switch from regular to sunglasses, it started to bug me, and give me a headache. So, I went the cheap route.

BTW, and sorry for the mild thread diversion - has anyone tried those yellow sunglasses you see on light night informercials for driving at night? If so, do they work?

Default Thanks for all your helpful suggestions

This gives me some comfort in looking at cars with Luxor beige.
My previous 997 had a Stone Grey interior, which was a medium tone, and had no noticeable reflection issues.

Glad to know the beige interior has a mitigation. It is the second most popular interior in 991 cars (after black).

Thanks
Sanjeev

Light interiors like beige are the best, you won't regret it! I used to have black and the beige is like 20 degrees cooler when it's been sitting in the sun, and on dark rainy days, the car is bright and happy and feels open inside. I'll never go back to black!

Same here. Had a Volvo with beige dash in Australia. Trips across NSW and Queensland were hard work. Got clear scripts with progressive lenses (to read the dash) plus tinted polarized clip ons. Never "looked" back.
