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...

Next paycheck I'll have an arm... maybe a leg.  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....

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.

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...

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