Let me preface my comment with this: It is your car and you have to live with your choices, we don't and you will always win that argument. However, I always wondered the necessity to "match" the interior to the exterior color? I'm more of the type to say contrast it with a color to make the interior pop, not blend in.

If this color choice was available on a 992T I may have done it, love the pattern.

Nothing more frivolous than a roof that saves you no more than 5 pounds in exchange for $4k!

Surprised it has not been mentioned, but the smoking package adds a 12v plug no charge. I would pay to have yet one more, somewhere:-)

This was true in previous generations but no longer true on the 992 generation. https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-...l#post17931901

Yes it’s lighter but matches the AG pretty well. I got black interior, black targa bar, black wheels. I also got a free bowl of soup.

I was of the mind that I would never spend extra money to get contrasting seat belts until I saw the Lizard Green Interior Package with green belts-LOVE 'em!!

I think you win the thread.
I valeted the car at a restaurant this past spring and the attendant said to me "cool, this is the first Sunshine edition I've seen."

Perfect. Now you just need a little 1/1 placard on the interior and you’re set!

Not my favorite option but definitely comes under the frivolous category...Guards Red leather covered key fob...it was a configurator moment of weakness
BUT all things considered it is very well done!

Actually not that frivolous considering how often you use the key. Why not? The entire purchase is frivolous so frivolous can be fun.
