Well I guess nobody knows the answer from my previous thread if a 997 side mirrors fit on a 996 body....I saw a pair of 997 mirror on ebay & I decided to buy it on an impulse not knowing whether it'll fit or not....Let me be the first to tell you...HELL NO IT DOESN'T FIT....The mounting holes & connector plug does not lines up right...I wasn't about to let all that $$ go bye-bye so I was determined to make it work...One good thing was that it plugged right in to the oem connector...The mirror moves in a wierd direction but who cares as long as it moves...One of the plug mounting hole need to be bored out & the side trimmed inorder to lowered the plug down..I drilled 2 new holes & enlarged 1 existing hole..This was not an easy task like I thought it would be, but at the end I think it turns out pretty darn good...

here's the final result:

Looks real good your hard work paid off

 

thanks rh888888,
the first side took me about 2 hrs to drill & redrill b/c I could not get the hole to fit right...The 2nd side took me about 1/2 an hr..

 

by the way you have one killer looking Porsche. Very clean look love the color.

 

Are those stock seats I rally like the colored crests. Got any closer pics.

 

Kudos for taking a chance and being an innovator. Looks great. I'm going start calling your car the Franken-Porsche.

 

thanks

yes, they're stock seat....its just vinyl decal..I would like to have embedded or embroider....some may think its cheap or cheesy but who cares..I like it.

thanks alpine003,
I called it my 996-7ish hybrid...Its alive.

 

Wow, very cool... great job on the modding to make it work

Is your 997 style bumper fiberglass or polyurethane?

 

thanks chaud,
its poly including the lower lip.

 

You're probably sick and tired of answering it. Maybe put a quote in your sig? "Yes, it's Poly"

 

thanks alpine003,
that's a good idea.

 

Love it, looks great!

 

That came out nice!

 

Thanks guys
