Default Retroactive fit sport design mirrors anyone?

I've searched this subject with minimal results.

Has anyone had the dealer retrofit the SD mirrors on your 991? If so, what did it cost? Any other options to keep this cost as low as possible? I know suncoast has them for about 680$ but they come unpainted. Is this a relatively easy install?

Somebody here has. I don't remember the Rennlister. And I can't search with the mobile app to help you. Sorry.

I looked into this.

You should order it from Sunset Porsche up in Oregon. They are cheaper than Suncoast (and no sales tax).

Also it makes no sense, money-wise, to have the dealer paint them. Find a local reputable body shop that does electronic color matching to do the paint, clear coat, etc.

Install is a snap. The body shop should be able to do it for you.

A good body shop can paint and assemble the mirrors. Parts from your current ones need to be used on the new ones.

Been there. Was worth it!! You can pretty much double your parts price for paint and install as a total estimate. A little time consuming.
