Non-stock Side Mirrors, What non-stock mirrors work well for 914 Options

[ThinAir]

Looking over the pictures of the Dunkel event, I notice that there are pretty much 2 ways that folks seem to go with mirrors. They either stay stock or go with something that looks like the cheap Italian mirrors that you can get at any FLAP. In my opinion the later make a really fine car look really bad.

On my car I tried putting 911 mirrors on (the rectangular ones). These met my goals of a larger mirror surface and a mirror with "break away" functionality so that I wouldn't have to readjust them every time someone bumped them. The problem with these is the holes that you have to cut into the doors and the difficulty of getting this right. Fortunately, I was working with old doors that I planned to replace 'cuz I didn't get it right.

So does anyone know of an aftermarket mirror that meets these goals and is easy to mount? How about a foolproof way to mount either the rectangular or oval style mirrors from the 911 or newer Porsches?

There is one that I saw in the Dunkel pictures that looks like it could fit the bill, but I don't know what it is. Anybody know? http://www.pelicanparts.com/swapmeet_pics/...ML/Page-691.htm

Since I've posted this pic, does anyone know where that wing came from?

It is the nicest big ol wing I've seen on a 914.

It's the uprights that impress me.

Yes, in fact that car is my current wallpaper on my office PC!

I am fairly certain the guy who just did some of the suspension work on my car was one of the builders (suspension mainly) of that yellow car. His name is George Browne. I am not positive that is one of his wings, but he does have his own leading-edge wing design that is fabbed in c/f and significantly cheaper than some of the others on the market. The Ottos cars have similar wing setups, which he also did.

George also knows Kerry Eisenlohr (sp?) the ERP guy and they supposedly share ideas about suspension bits and setup instruments, like laser bump steer gauges and that kind of thing. He has a very old and very superficial web page here http://www.zpeed.com/browne&son.html His email may not be working right now but he can be reached thru Ottos usually.
