They mount by you just pulling the current mirror out of the socket where it mounts and then unclipping the heater cord, then clipping to the new mirror and pressing it in to the socket.

I wouldn't drive a Boxster without this blind spot coverage. And the nice thing about the Porsche asymmetric mirrors are they are completely stock looking and acting plus you get the wide angle coverage you need..
Mike, which set did you like better, between the set that was convex in shape, and the set that had two panels? Are both still offered?

Also, did you run the mirrors on both driver and passenger side? I've read that some people like them better on only the driver side and not so much for the passenger side. How do you feel about this?

Thanks in advance!
