thanks again.

I'm not sure if OEM 997 mirrors will mount to a 986. Would be cool it they did though. The price for the mirror in the ebay link can be lower. Jeff, at Xtreme Motorcars was pretty cool about giving a better deal than he has on ebay.

got you.
thanks.
i was sure your mod is using a 997 OEM mirror from a dismantler and installing it on the boxster mirror base.
i was under the impression that the after market part includes the base.

Hey Porsche Pete,

I would love to know/see if OEM 987 mirrors work. Mine are an aftermarket conversion for our 986 units. If so, please post pics of the installation process. Thanks!
