Thanks, I prefer to call them Turbo Cup mirrors! They are said to be off a 924SE but they don't have manual adjuster arms like they should... maybe they're real turbo cups.

Lucky you if they are, but the turbo cup mirrors are essentially 924 mirrors without the adjusting mechanism. Nevertheless they look really cool on your car.

What? "They are said to be off a 924SE but they don't have manual adjuster arms like they should... maybe they're real turbo cups."

Where did you get 944 from that?

"Only difference between the 924 mirrors and the real M637/754 Cup mirrors are the remote cable adjustment on the 924 mirrors. The Cup mirrors don't have the cable, and you need to stick your hand out the window to adjust them.... otherwise identical."

I see now.

Those actually look great, kudos on a good find. Subtle, but with an element of style.

I don't suppose you know where another set might be available?

Thanks, I think so too. They definitely look even better in person.
