So… mostly a frivolous novelty?

Let your mood dictate. Then let it sync to whatever music is playing. Kidding. It doesn't so that.

I got this as well but have not used it yet. Did anyone else buy this? If so what's your experience with it?

I’m a sucker for ambient lighting so I played around with it on day 1. Mines set to max brightness with red and it looks great at night.

The gas cap for sure. Ridiculous waste of money but I got it anyway.

You mean like this? LOL I did too. It's strange...there is a level of satisfaction for some reason.

Level of satisfaction is 10/10. I don't know why. I fell for the marketing trap and I'm still satisfied

Part of that is the fact that the stock gas cap is such a cheap POS. The gas cap on our Toyota feels nicer as does every rental that I’ve had in recent memory.

Spending money feels good. Especially when you get something cool for the 992.

Abso-friggin-lutley! It is up to us Porsche owners to keep America's economy rolling! (that is how I justify these gas cappy type things to my wife, but really I do enjoy buying these frivolous things for my 911)

That net-like pouch in the passenger footwell. I've owned six 911's and have yet to store anything in it. Have you?

I mean, it's free, so why not get it? And I actually have a small trash bin with a clip on the back that I hook over the net to keep the trash bin in place, so I actually find it quite useful.
