Yes it would be another $13.25. Probably one of those watches would cover it.

Maui Jim and Orvis sunglasses and a bunch of Porsche t-shirts and some hats. I wear the t-shirts at home only (okay, occasionally I'll need to run a quick errand without changing). The hats I wear periodically out and about. I would have liked to have bought the motorsports windbreaker, but I couldn't see myself wearing it in public as it's too showy.

Next up - Outdoor car cover. Again thinking the OEM Porsche on Suncoast may be top quality.

Porsche Design Model 8478P (White) Aviator Sunglasses with Extra Lenses
Nice.

This is what I have. I like the style but not the Ferrari logo on the lens so I switched them to a pair of fire/red lens.

Yes it seems top of the lens and smaller is better.

Except it's on the inside.

^^ But also on the outside, subtly peeking out above the black temple pieces. That's a nice looking pair of glasses, whether your Porsche's Guards or not!

EDIT: Lord Have Mercy! Just looked them up on Amazon. $429! I'm a $160 max guy for sunglasses. I have a penchant for sticking them in a shirt pocket or letting them hang from a button hole if I don't have a pocket, and I invariably bend over for something and they invariably fall out, land face down on concrete, and sustain a small scratch that's perfectly centered in my field of vision and causes me to throw them away.

Not enough peeking out to matter and there are nice for anyone without max limitations and (in general) take care of their stuff. I, as a true friend, am telling you to your sunglasses-shod face.

Just a thought... Those look neat and all but with the top down, a fuller frame Is needed to shade the peripherals.

Oakley has some cool red frames I'm sure. Been a fan for years and dozens of their glasses, but I have to say, the optics on the polarized Maui Jim's I just bought blow away any glasses I've ever worn. Super light too. Just wish they had a frameless field of vision like my Oakleys.

Agree on all counts except the last one -- my MJ FIT 407N is frameless. Various lens colors available. Alas, no Guards Red frames that I'm aware of.

I've got those as well. Great glasses. Can't best the MJ clarity.

Oh yeah, I was just referring to the model I bought. It was the only one that fit my face shape and my style preference. Unfortunately, it has a full frame. Still an amazing pair of glasses. I always thought Maui Jim's were cheap, novelty sunglasses. Boy was I wrong. The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't grip my head as tightly as Oakleys and the full frame MJs don't allow you to bend them and have them retain a tighter fit. I fear that they would fly off my head if I wore them doing something athletic, and I understand they tend to be a bit fragile in terms of ability to take a hard impact.
