Has anyone installed aluminum side mirror accents on their 997? If so, are they easy to install ourselves? I saw these accessory accents on Suncoast's website and wanted to know off hand...are they an easy DIY?

Thanks!

When I ordered mine with from the factory I thought it was too much but still went ahead anyhow. I like the look but it really is subtle. I don't know if I would have paid that much again for them. I also added from Suncoast the matching grills which I really do like.

 

The trckiest part is removing the mirror. Irrespective of what's stated, they will brake if you grab it on the outer edge & pull out - I know from experience. Get your fingers underneath the bottom edge near the center of the mirror & pull out from there to unclip (that's closest to where the mirror clips in, so less likely to brake). It will take a little force. All your need are a couple of torx keys after that.

Here's how to:

Step 3 is the tricky bit. Didn't need step 7 - no screw on my 2010.

 

Wow thanks for the DIY instructions, fontana302! I will order mine from suncoast this week and install them as per your instructions! Thanks again!
