I had what looked like sport design mirrors on my Boxster Spyder and found they whistled. You could affect or minimize the whistle by putting your hand between the mirror and the body. It was frustrating as the mirrors looked good, but the whistle was slight, but annoying.
I agree the black plastic on the bottom of the regular mirrors looks unfinished. I wish Porsche would just offer a single, good looking, non whistling mirror :-(
We looked at both on full screen 3D Configurator and my wife life the SD mirror look over the single post and electrically foldable by enough to say "that one looks better."
Soooo (guess what)....

Has anybody installed these swapping out the normal mirrors? I am considering ordering these from Suncoast but curious what the paint and labor will end up running. Love the look but not sure if it will be worth it after the fact.

The Rennlister in this thread paid $2,500 for the swap on his 991 Turbo. Crazy, I know.:
paint code for "high gloss black" used on lower trim?
Does anyone know the paint code for the "high gloss black" they use to paint the lower trim of the sport design mirrors when you select that option? I ordered the kit to convert my stock mirrors to sport design and decided I like the way the high gloss black looks with Carrera White.

I'm sure I'm completely in the minority here, but I actually like the look of the standard mirrors with the black plastic trim. Same for the rear valence and front trim, as well as the non painted radiator slats. Weird right?
I also declined the sports chrono, sports exhaust and sunroof.
I prefer the more plain lines of the standard car...black trim and all...
I'd budget at least $1K for paint and install in top of parts. Depending where/who could be a bit higher. Quite the little project. The old intervals need to be taken out to be put into the new housings too.
