Default My post-delivery Suncoast shopping cart

Appreciate any advice on my potential list of add-ons when my Targa 4 arrives in a few weeks. Seems like a lot of bang for the buck, especially compared to what we pay for certain options.

I just got a lot of these yesterday.

1. The fuel cap looks nice but I didn't install it yet.
2. The side markers look great and I got them in June when I got the car.
3. The Valve Stem Caps look great and I did the same silver with colored emblem.
4. My frunk liner arrived damaged so I am dealing with getting a replacement.
5. I also bought the all weather/rubber floor mats, though I suppose I could have bought those at the dealer.
6. I opted not to get the coolant caps (yet) they were on my list, but truthfully I will see those much less than the fuel cap, so I don't know that I will.
7. I didn't opt to get the hood protector yet. Have not decided on that.
8. Not sure your state, but I also bought a Carbonio front plate holder so I can put my plate on if and when I need to (parking where I might get a ticket or if I get pulled over and have to put it on).

Thank you! And especially the front license plate holder. I forgot about that, and I've gotten a few fix-it tickets for not having the plate, all when parked.

I wouldn’t bother with the coolant/oil caps. Do you ever look in there? I don’t.

Everything else looks good.

Fortunately we don't have front plates in Georgia

I was in Suncoast last Wednesday, the SA there ("Winn") said the parts dept. does $1.5M/month in sales online. Yowza

What am I missing here that warrants a $150 gas cap? Who else ever sees your gas cap?

It’s not about other people. It’s for us, the people who bought these seriously expensive sports cars and don’t want to stare at a cheap Ford Focus quality black plastic cap every week.

Just another overpriced option that we "need" on our 911. While the price may seem outrageous, there are plenty on the configurator that are much more confounding. That is, to me. But to others, they are "must have." As they say, there are practically no two cars alike on a given year.

A $150 for a gas cap?... tire valve caps...? No wonder they do over 1.5 million a month. I did get the frunk protector when it was first offered but not from them or at that price but that's about it.

However if you like you should get irrespective of what folks like me say

We're questioning $750 in accessories on a $160k car. hmm. Like Siberian said. Do what makes U happy.

Well, they're cheaper than Porsche on things; the side decal is $560 on the configurator, it's $279 at Suncoast, just under 50% less.

I'll probably get the gas cap and clear side markers. I remember reading that some other members had luck getting one or both of those included by their SA at delivery. So maybe worth asking before ordering them yourself?

Would probably also get all weather floor mats and cargo liner, I find it easier to clean than carpet.

The IRS is probably cheaper than Porsche, but places that insist on shipping small things via UPS or FedEx (which for folks like us equals or nears the cost of the item) and refuse to use the PO in a flat rate box (please don't give me the tracking issue and my grandfather's neighbor once lost a packet via the PO) don't get my business unless it's something I absolutely need and can't get anywhere else. Free shipping (only for contiguous 48 states)? take me off your list.

I'm on Amazon Prime and shipping is included FWIW; given the volume we order the yearly fee is insignificant. Sorry but this is a business practice I will not support
