I like them. No preference either way on the color though. Both would look great. Since someone else already has dibs on the 968 mirrors IF you change, then put me down for dibs on the new mirrors if you DON'T change.

Caw Caw Caw! Rennvultures!

No problem Icat.

Kevin, OG made my ducts.............but yes, I think AIR is making them now from what looks to be the same mold or a copy. Don't know if they sell the ductwork and the backing plates though, you may need to check with them on that. I think their price was for the ducts only.

I think DP Motorsport still do something quite similar.



I've been quite tempted to get some but want to see a car with them fitted first to see how much visibility is lost.

Best regrds,
Peter.

I vote hot pink, that way they will match the rest of the car - or maybe the color on my monitor is off, not sure at this point.

More coffee please.

hmm i still have mixed feelings Tifo.. I like them.. but i really like the 968 ones. Maybe i'm biased as mine are setting in my room waiting to be painted/installed.

Hey Peter, thanks for the link, I forgot about DP. Here are some other shots from them:







They look like the same mirrors.

In regards to visability, it is decreased. Most guys that have these in 911's add a little circular wink mirror inside of them for added vision range.

I know, you are the one that told me to try AIR. Thanks for the tip.

Do you know who is going to do your paint work yet? My car needs to be painted bad.

Thanks Rock!

Kevin, I've been talking to XSBoost about it a little bit lately, more than likely it will be him.

Winslow, who makes those mirrors on your car? They look familiar.

Beer would probably take care of that problem. Take 4 and call me in the morning.

I think that style of mirror looks like crap, but thats me. If you like it... kudos! Myself I will stick with full size post mounted mirrors.

I don't remember who made them, but they came off a BMW M1 factory race car. They weight about 8oz ea.
