My car is currently at the body shop, and they guys just finished putting on the mirrors. The passenger side looks good, but the driver side looks like it points too high.
I bought the kit direct from Porsche, so they should be all the correct parts. We did notice that the base the driver mirror sits on is taller than the passenger. Is this normal? What have you guys seen in the past? Is there possibly another base that is smaller for the drvr side?  |

QUOTE(peteyd @ Jan 9 2013, 09:36 AM)  I bought the kit direct from Porsche, so they should be all the correct parts. There are no "correct parts" for this mod. Fitting these will be just like fitting aftermarket mirrors that were designed for some other car. Adjustment, fitting, trimming, possibly shimming, and more modifications may all be required. Figure out how to make it work, and don't sweat having to alter the parts. Because they're not the "right" ones anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) --DD |
