We just got some of the new 997.2 Porsche 997 mirrors in to do in carbon, and these things are HUGE! Look at them next to the old 997 mirrors. The new mirrors are about an inch taller, and half an inch deeper. I'll post some more pics when we get them done in carbon.

It looks like you may be able to retrofit the old 997 mirrors if people don't like the new style.

Doesn't that kill the drag coefficient (CD) of the car.

Heres a pic of the new 997 mirror in carbon. We had to fill the top channel section, which makes the mirror look a little better anyways.

does the new mirrors fit the 997 turbo? and do you have any photos of a white porsche with carbon mirrors? I'm not sure how it would look, so it would be good to see it.
