997 Ebay Mirror 996 Upgrade

Has anyone tried these?
Seems like a nice upgrade at a reasonable price if the quality is up to OEM as the seller says they are.

Link? I have thought of doing the 997 upgrade but it involves a lot of replacement parts. Essentially you need to replace everything not just the external housing. Unfortunately, can't just take the old outer housing off and swap on the new one.

Seems like these are "supposed" to be plug and play.

Hmm, looks like it could be alright from looking at this:

I also noticed in their feedback that a few people have purchased them for $400-$425, so I think if you use the "make offer", they will probably go for that price.

OEM does require modifications.
That's why I was wondering about these mirrors because they're supposed to require NO modifications and are supposed to be virtually plug and play.
