Almost, except I opted for the full Sport Design Package. It's nice to see more GT Silver slick top T's in the wild. It's one of my favourite exterior features of my car. It's old school cool! Also, a feature my wife said was conservatively boring, and that I should've opted for a sunroof.

I like my slick top.

Yesterday I was driving my wife in the T and she told me she was glad I didnt get a sunroof, but also told me I need to get the windows tinted.

I've had a sunroof in last 7 vehicles and never opened one of them, sunshade included. When I built this T the first option I deselected was the sunroof.

Nice…you need to keep her around. While I am not a T owner, I have a new to me C2S and my wife (who “does not like cars”) wants to go for a ride every weekend. On Thursday she starts asking me, where are we going this weekend. The 911 had a totally unexpected impact on my wife. She loves this damn car although she is starting to get a little jealous and wants me to stop buying toys for it.

Anyone else completely disturbed by the cloth interior? Very upsetting and cheap for what is supposed to be a fairly nice car.

My decision had nothing to do with functionality (as I've used all my sunroofs in the past) and more so about the aesthetic of the car. Also, I put some weight into my decision in keeping the roof of the car lighter, no pun intended, but in the end, I really just like the look of a slick top on a 911.

Not at all! One of my favourite parts of my interior is the Sport Tex inserts.

Heck no, there's some 911's that are 3 times the cost of a T that have cloth seats. In fact, leather seats in a T just doesn't seem right.

What? The pinstriped Sport-Tex on the T package is one of the coolest/most unique parts about the car.

You can easily delete the cloth by adding ventilation, but that is not ideal for most of us.

Exactly. The SportTex seats are one of the best features of the T. If you want a luxury car there are like 15 other 911 trim levels to choose from. While I am loathed to be a gate keeper, and don't fault anyone for spec'ing their car exactly how they want it, I'm glad that Porsche offers the T trim for those of us who don't want (what I consider superfluous) luxury features in our sports car.

Best approach is to not respond. We have a new thread, myself included will try and limit snark unless totally called for.
