You know, not to offend anyone with the 968 handles/mirrors, but I really like the stock ones better. The curves of the 968 stuff looks to me, really out of place. Call me strange, by I love the rectangle mirrors!

Sharky, you're just saying that because you have so many parts cars - all with flag mirrors! 
MJD - It's really not THAT bad. Just take your time. Don't start unless you can do with out the car for awhile though. This isn't a 15 minute upgrade (unless you've done it before). Side one took me several days. But I had to create a procedure where none existed. Side two took about an hour and a half - including cleanup - AND including having my wife come out every fifteen minutes to snap a photo or two.

The 968 Handle and Aero Mirror installation gets easier each time you do it. Unfortunately the learning curve is pretty steep and takes two tries to get it down pat. Which means you'll have a hell of a time with your own, but can then do anyone else's quickly and efficiently. Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

& suspect that this did not help matters any... Good luck- if all else fails, the dealers usually don't charge much to do this FOR you, so, you should be able to get most of the way through & pay them the rest IF you mess up- I'm taking mine in to get the locks fixed cause there's NO WAY I can get them right now- I've had the handles off over 30 times b/t the two & still can't get the locks functioning correctly... VERY frustrating, but, then, everything w/this car has been that way for me- they're cool cars, but DAMN if they can't be stubborn PITA's sometimes
