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

Start a new thread on the body work. (Just got off the phone with Roger..so I'm a little biased) LOL

Andy (my favorite American hater.lol) The mirror you pictured wont work on the 914 door unless you mount it way down the side of the door. I tried them back in 1993 or so on a 914. They dont lay over far enough. They end up in the air and not flat like you see them. The mounting base doesnt allow them to lay out flat. I like them a lot, but tried and tried to make them work.
