So dumb question here ... what do you use for the mirrors on these track builds ? Is there a manually adjustable mirror rather than the normal power mirror ?

Mooty - that door looks very nice and clean.

^ u can use cup mirrors(they suck visibilitywise) or use stock mirrors which I have done which is a matter of putting three bolts on aftermarket doors wo the power ie u adjust by pushing mirroe(no toggle type). Cup mirrors or similar is waste of money. U can't see crap esp passengerside. Mike

Would be great if they make stuff for 996! They are in CA, so we need a member to drop by to let them measure it, ha ha!

I didn't realize that was an option. Are they easy to take on and off?

Let me know if you get an epiphany.
I would love to gt the doors like Mooty had.
