Default Possible Side mirror options

Was wondering if anyone else has looked into side mirror options that are not typical.

I was looking at a 951 with the mirror and thought the wiring should be simple. Personally I like the the Camaro Side mirrors. I may order a pair. Not crazy expensive and I think the lines would fit the cars body nicely.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I don't like the original flag mirrors that much and until recently i had manual Cup mirrors but the visibility is pretty poor so now i installed corrado mirrors . I think they fit the car very well , to me they look like a combination between flag mirrors and 968 mirrors ,also visibility is great .

Are they wired in? If yes do they work with the standard electronic controls?

I like the look of the Strosek mirror so I modded my 935 mirror to fit/work on my cab. Pics coming soon.

They are not wired yet but it looks like it should be pretty straight forward , i just need to find the time to do it.
The base needs to be cut at an angle ( about 7-8mm ) because the curvature of the door is different , lots of material to work with so not a big problem unless you get it wrong lol.
I used one of the original mounting holes plus drilled a second one but i stayed within the OE mirror base area in case i ever need to go back to stock, also the other two bottom holes are still there ,filled them flush with silicone and aded the Magnus Walker stickers on top .
I will post some pics if i still have them , lost everything on my pc when my hard drive died last month.

Yes the door handles are drilled ,Magnus Walker style , also not finished , needs some surface finishing and powder coating .

You have me ready to pull the trigger and get some other mirrors.
Did a rubber gasket come with yours?

I'm thinking about getting the camaro mirrors......if I can get the word camaro off of them......
