There are people who fix mirrors, especially the auto-dimming ones. When I have had conventional mirrors, I either replace or put a broadway mirror over it. With the auto dimming one, I replaced mine but a lot of people have had good results with https://www.radar-mirror.com/

With the lenses, it really matters on how far gone they are. Over the years, my personal approach is to skip all the elbow grease, get them restored by a detailer, or just get new lights. With Hondas, I always got new lights because they were pretty wildly cheap but with my Porsche, I would try to get them polished and then even wrapped with a UV film.

I have a pair of headlight lenses I never used if you're interested. I'll give them to you at discount.

You can get replacement headlight covers (the part that fades) for the 997 on well known internet malls, both in US and China. c. $300 a pair. But you'll need to DIY them (involves baking the lights in the oven to soften the adhesive) or find someone who knows what to do.
