[QUOTE=Adrift;17903696]Thanks for the link, but...as verbalized in "Cannonball Run": What is behind me, it is not important

@Larry Cable Why didn't you get both sides? Easy to install?[/QUOTE]

well ... a couple of reasons:

1) they cost about $5xx a side for heated/auto-dimming

2) the blindspot on the drivers side is not as dangerous, as you can glance over your shoulder and check that ... not so much on the passenger side!

installation is a breeze if you are "delicate"/careful (not to stress the mirror and break it) ... takes about 5 mins to R&R ...

This sounds like a MUST HAVE. Just ordered mine (for a car I won't see in 5 months - lol) Thanks for the heads up!!

its not always apparent if someone is being funny or not ... hence most of the $h*t that occurs on RL... except for that where someone is deliberately being an A$$H*le

Look up the original Cannonball Run movie. Definitely worth a watch.

Oh wait…scratch that. That quote is “Gumball Rally.” That’s the great classic.

“Cannonball Run” is the painfully dumb ripoff with Burt Reynolds’s and Dom DeLouise.

“Gumball Rally” is now on the menu for tonight!

When i look up deletion of model designation on rear on the configurator it shows only P O R S C H E no 718 Spyder but I like the look of just S P Y D E R without the 718
Sorry for hi jacking thread but just noticed the pic of back of your car

If one makes no changes it comes with "718 Spyder" in a smaller size. I optioned it without the emblem and added the one from the previous generation, which is a little bigger. I also optioned PORSCHE in Black and had Yellow overlays made.

Here are a couple of pics of it in the car. As I said above it comes as a piece of glass and inserts just as the mesh one does, and added a strip of Black door edge trim to the top edge for cosmetic purposes only:
