I was gonna say the same. And look, it's got the mirrors I've been talking about!

Is that a 944 spoiler? Maybe they don't look so bad after all.

It is a DP 924 from the early "80's"

If you look closely to my avatar you will notice the mirrors are in the front pillar. Are those you are looking for?

If so go to FK auto parts. I bought them from this company.

I think they have the mirrors we are looking for, but could you check for us? Sort of hard to tell if those are the correct ones.

You will have to make a triangular base to mount them on. Or you could bolt them to the door frame. I used metal triangle the size of the base to mount the mirrors. The mirror frames are plastic.
Caution...........They look great but the mirrors make everything appear far back. If you don't mind buy them.

So do they fit perfectly in place, or are there gaps?

Vince Ponz · Joined: 02 Nov 2002 Posts: 3581 Location: Florida

If you line them up with the A pillar you will be fine. The gap will be on the bottom. Not much.

good luck. Need help PM me.

Is there supposed to be a picture that I am missing? Don't see any pictures in any of the posts.
