Is the passenger side mirror just a driver side mirror flipped around or is it a different p/n?

Flipped

I have heard some say that theres is a "passenger side mirror". But the ones

I have seen, including my own are flipped drivers side mirrors.

Flipped here also. Strangley had to get new glass for the one I used (off my '74 parts car for my '73) and when looking real close it was bigger than original mirror.

They have different part numbers, and have convex glass. Standard equipment for Japan.

Does anyone actually have one on their car? I've heard tales of these, but have never actually seen a picture of one. Both my cars have the flipped driver's side ones.

Yes I do.

I read that the passenger mirror was actually an option. ???

I can barely notice the curve in the glass.
I have 2 new ones, 1 installed

Porsche dealer can order one for you from der Faderland, quoted me about $112 last year, but I did something else

Can someone post a side by side picture of the drivers side vs. the passenger side?

Lock ness monster, Bigfoot? Come on peeps,....let's put this one to rest.

The glass on a true passenger side mirror is convex, simple as that.

Sorry to subject you to my ugly mug, but look at the size of my head in the passenger side mirror compared to the driver side mirror. Obviously my head is smaller in the passenger side mirror because the glass is convex.

If the passenger mirror is conVEX, wouldn't your head be BIGGER?

Double post

No, smaller. It's no different than any other blind spot mirror. What is larger on a convex mirror is the field of view ... it's just less obvious on the 914 passenger mirror.
