I plan on having them painted along with the "Just Peachy" 80 when ready. If someone can guide me to the parts needed from the pic below, it would be much appreciated. T
Have the prices on these gone up recently? I thought the aero mirror kit from Roger was in the $500 to $600 range.

Same at 928 Intl: http://www.mailordercentral.com/928i...731%20901%2000

I must be missing something here.

Really? They're up to a grand now? ****! I just sold a set for $400 to a friend this past fall and I made $100! I should look into speculating in the Porsche parts market with appreciation values like that! Anyone know how to make a financial instrument out of a Porsche part? They do it with corn and pork belles, so how hard can it be?

Seriously... A grand? Wow! My car's value just went up!

No, a set is still ~$600. Tony is looking for two sets (for two of his cars I guess).

For two sets. You realize you only need one set per car, right?

Well, if that's true, then here's a bargain for you:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-964-...item5adf9eb896

Even if Porsche did double the price, I thought that replicas were available.

Thanks Gary, but wouldn't I still need to buy the 928 bases & gaskets ? TIA. T

Wow they have gone way up! I paid $355 for a set for my 928 from Sunset Porsche in Oregon http://www.sunsetimports.com/ in 2008, and they were the motorized version. Now they are over $1000??!!

Check with Sunset they still might have the best deal, and come with 928 bases.

At this unbelievable price point, are there stylistically similar mirrors from other cars (porsche/non-porsche) which could be considered.

$1,200+ to replace a pair of mirrors is c-r-a-z-y

Get them while you can, I really wish I had picked them up at $350 a set. I paid double that for my set that is being painted.

I think vertex and pelican still list at the ~$700 price range. Grab your ankles and spell "RUN"
