Finished installing the 968CS mirrors. Net weight savings over the flag mirrors was just under 10lbs (manual mirrors plus the deletion of a bunch of wiring and switches). The finished product looks stock, all old switch holes filled with factory blank plugs. It's all good! Lighter, better looking, and more "aero" (if that's quantifiable is really unknown).

What do you think?

 

Looks nice. How much do those mirrors run? And what kind of building is your car in?

 

Looks great, Tifo! I also am interested in knowing the price for those CS mirrors and where to acquire them. I think they would look nice on the Ian Special.

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks!

The 968 power mirrors are readily available from Sunset Porsche. The manual ones (sam as used on the 968CS and the 964RS) are somewhat harder to come by, they are out of stock at the moment and they are on back order. You'll need to call them for availability and pricing. The mirror housings and glass are the same, but the guts are different.

 

now how did you get your car in there?

 

What do you mean?

 

Now get the 968 door handles, and your car will look just like mine (only your color isnt FLAMING-o)

Tifo, you, Pete and Sami have the nicest looking 944's on the list..

I meant why are you so special you get to park your car in the taj garage. heh

 

Thanks all for the nice comments. My car really needs a total repaint though, as it is 19 year old red paint that is faded in spots, and then the new bits I have added of course look newer. Maybe this winter things will work out for a total respray.

The rear bumper is a euro one with euro shocks. I sourced it awhile back from a fellow rennlister who was parting out a grey market euro car. It was damaged in an accident and needed a lot of work to repair it. It shaved a ton of weight, the majority of it was in the shocks. Ian at 944online supplied the trim rubber, he has them in stock now. You could come up with almost the same look with a GT Racing rear bumper (a repro of a euro unit) and the rubber trim from Ian. It won't have the shocks, but would look the same.
