Dual view clip-on towing mirrors
Lipstick (?) on the pig? 
Since the Cayenne's mirrors don't let you see squat when towing anything significant in the rear, I picked up this set of **** mirrors (no affiliation
).
Plastic clips attach to the mirror housing and the unit is held in place by 2 sturdy rubber straps.
No paint issues, no whistling (65 mph on the interstate with no trailer), and they provide a pretty decent view with two adjustable mirrors per side.
The middle mirror has a bit of vibration, but the outside mirror is solid and steady. The box says #11953 - Black.

I'd tried those and was afraid they were going to blow off after only driving 2 miles from my house and I even used duct tape as well as the straps. Also thought they looked pretty pathetic on something as nice as the Cayenne. Took 'em back to the store for a refund...
I now have no issues with the electric telescoping mirrors on my '08 F250 PSD...

I've used these for a few years to tow my trailers with the CTT. The mirrors look like sh-t on a 100K vehicle but work just fine. I wish Porsche would make mirrors that extend out preferably electronically for towing but so far this is the best solution I've been able to come up with.

On second thought, a pair of 2000# cement blocks, chained to a Cayenne, pushed off a bridge, into a river........now THAT's style.
