Default Question regarding side mirror shape

Why is that some 964's have round edged mirrors, while others are more rectangular?

Is it depending on model year or version (C2/C4) or is it aftermarket?

Yes, search here for "flag" mirrors... they were rectangular, then they weren't.

Lots of guys have upgraded to the newer style as a retro-fit. It's a matter of personal taste.

Yup "flag" mirror and "cup" mirror. The later on newer 964s but retro fitted as an upgrade by many owners

I actually think the 'Flags' look correct with the early D90 wheels, but defenately Cup Flags with Cup alloys!!

Apologies if this sounds pedantic, but

Flags, refer to the early square mirrors

Cups are referred to as that in general or aero in some quarters, but most definitely not cup flags
