OK guys, good, bad, or indifferent - what do you think about updating the 951 with 968 door handles and mirrors?

I don't see how it would effect any resale value except for the OEM purest.
Since my cars not stock anymore anyway - I don't see a real arguement.

I'm trying to make this decision. Maybe go with the 968 rear wing too later.



Pictures please if you got some.

Thanks, TurboTime

I plan on doing my car.

IMO they look out of place, much too "rounded" for the relatively "square" lines of the 951. If I were you I'd fit turbo Cup mirrors - same as 924 and VW Rabbit.

See pic below for 968 mirrors :

I'm not sure about the mirrors, but the door handles look dead sexy!
I agree with Thom that the aero mirrors are to round relative to the square shape of the 944.

To get an idea, see Cup mirrors here

I like the both.

I agree 100% Thom

can anyone pls post a pic. of the 968 handle eithr on a 968 or 951, i just haven't seen one

I have both the mirrors and the door handles. It was the best thing I have done for the looks of the car. It looks really cool, sexy and modern.

I was lucky, paid $200,-- for the mirrors and $100,-- for the door handles (one of them brand new from the dealer).

I would say: Go for it!

Maybe the handles, but I agree with Thom that the mirrors don't match the overall lines of the 944. What's so bad about the flag mirrors? They were good enough for the oh-so-sexy 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO!

Tom Pultz's site has some good info on the mirrors & door handles

I'm a big fan of the aero mirrors and 968 handles. Best appearance mod for the car (besides a splitter).

I'm with most everyone else above.. the mirrors just don't look right on the 951... The door handles though, it's a slight change that makes a large visual improvment.

You can go low-rent and paint your current handles. Sure it's not quite as sexy but the one's you've got are free. Made a large improvement in my car's looks.

I had them installed on one of my previous 951's. While they look good, I feel they aren't consistent with the hard, square lines of the 951.

In short, while nice, they look out of place.

If you want soft round lines, get a 968.
