Will this mirror fit?
 
This image is off of the Porsche website of the new Boxster. Do you guys think it will fit on my 01'? Is there an aftermarket place that sells something like this? I want to retain the power mirror feature (of course) Hehe...

I dont know but i would like to know cause those mirrors are really nice looking.

that mirror would look toight...I like it! but I bet you, it would cost me an arm and a leg to get it :eek:

Next paycheck I'll have an arm... maybe a leg. :D I wonder how difficult it is to install myself? I REALLY want em... also I think it's time to invest in some coil-overs and new shocks. My car has a little too much lean when I corner. Hmm....

List of upgrades I (maybe we all) want....
 
19" wheels - 3K
Coil-over suspension system - 3K
GT3 skirting - 2K
All Alpine stereo/nav system - 3K
Miscellaneous goodies - 1K

Grand total... 12K
Gotta start saving my pennies!!! :o

Go for the coilovers, they were my favorite mod,

What do spacers do, really?
 
Are they for looks? Or any performance benefits?

Found them....
 
Here you go. Don't thank me yet. The price is kind of high, but not to bad. Here is a link to the only place I know that sells these for our 986 models. :cheers:

Thanks! Great website. What do you think though, the mirrors look a little...cheap. They don't look like the airbrushed-photoshop-fancy lighting-high dollar photographer mirrors below. Hehe...

well it isnt painted, looks like its just the housing and you attach it to your exsisting base.

conradtan 04-13-2007 02:48 PM

Ya guess they are pretty cool... I wonder if they have the power mirror cables attached or would they be manually adjusted now.

Hey, aren't they the mirrors that the 987 guys are complaining about 'cause they whistle???

CJ_Boxster 04-13-2007 03:20 PM

Yeah they are, but hopefully the manufactor of these aftermarket versions for the 996/986 models will have that little crevas sealed or held tightly.

conradtan 04-14-2007 05:44 PM

Whistle?? Forget it! Hehe...
