If you have auto-dimming, be ready to shell out almost a grand for these.

 

Just search Suncoast's site for aspheric.

 

Seriously? is that a grand for the pair? $99 ea for non auto-dimming

 

I asked Suncoast about a year ago and they were 4-500 each IIRC.

 

Paid $348 for driver's side and $245 for passenger side for 997.1 two years ago.

 

Thanks for the info. Let me ask Suncoast again. It was too expensive when I inquired about it so I passed, but seeing how people in Seattle drive, I might have to get them regardless.

 

Here's what I purchased for an 08 997.1 TT - driver's side aspheric 997-731-035-05, pasenger side convex (without warning language) 997-731-038-06 -both were auto dimming and heated.

 

Worky fine. When you click on the link it takes you to their site. Then do a search on porsche aspheric and they come right up.

 

Confirmed it with Suncoast this morning, it is indeed ~400 each side

 

Try Sunset for pricing too (on your side of the country). Also, I didn't get aspheric on passenger side, just convex maybe that's why less expensive. Are these mirrors OEM in Europe (ROW)?

 

I'll give Sunset a call. The pricing are aspheric for both sides (OEM, Euro-spec). I had them in my M3 and E55 in the past and loved them. I might have to just bite the bullet.

 

I better hope I like them because I broke both left and right OEM trying to remove them. New Aspherics installed.

 

So whats the secret to getting the old mirrors our without breaking them?

 

Tilt them all the way away from the door and then use a plastic tool/pry bar to gently insert in the now open area between the mirror and the housing and pop the mirror out from the edges. The auto dimming mirrors will have an electrical attachment that will have to be disconnected. I've done it on two different 997's and never busted anything - just take your time. Someone posted some good pictures 3 or 4 years ago - maybe a search would turn them up. It was from a driving buddy of Atomic80 but I can't remember his name.

 

I did what the OP said and tilted towards the car and both shattered in my hands.
