As the title says, I'm a CSOB. A CSOB that has been lusting for a pair of new Porsche side mirrors. IMHO, it's the only one that has the proper look. No inference here as we get to dress up our 914's to our own liking! Back on topic; I found a new mirror in Portugal for $150 to my door and I had just sold an unneeded 914 item for $150 so.............
As stupid (which I am BTW) as this sounds, it was the only way I would pull the trigger. I couldn't bring myself to pay almost $400 for a pair but apparently I'm comfortable with basically splitting that cost over 2 orders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Of course this will mean a paint job will be in order after I weld up the extra holes. So in reality that 2nd mirror will really set me back a few $$.

"It" isn't installed yet, Chris. I need to buy it's mate. I did order the screws for both sides though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Having the screws in hand should trick me into ordering that other mirror. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I'm thinking another -10 for the r side. I don't like the magnified mirrors. Any thought's on that from those in the know. Also, and maybe I should ask this in the Originality Forum, but did they ever come with the drivers side mirror only?

. Also, and maybe I should ask this in the Originality Forum, but did they ever come with the drivers side mirror only? I believe they ALL came with the driver's side. The passenger side was added by the dealer or owner as the nuts are there to mount it on most doors. Years ago I heard a rumor that they actually made a passenger side mirror with "Objects are closer than they appear". My passenger side mirrors were just driver's flipped. |
