They look like "generic" (not to imply cheap) mirrors used for general application. The 953 mirrors (I did a search) are suppose to mount to the window frame (drill and screw), but the back of those worry me. If they are screwed into the window frame (leading edge), I think I will have clearance issues.

Anyone install these with nice detailed pictures, please post with pix and comments.

Chris, I was so caught up with the other fun items on the racecar I didn't even notice! Too much data to process... :)

Thanks,

Souk,
My RUF mirrors came with a tube of adhesive, no drilling required.
They are also contured to fit on and over the various trim pieces.

The fun has begun! Only the rear has been mounted so far, hopefully the front will be just as easy.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/Photo0003.jpg :)

Nice!

Post some details how you hung it if you could.

How do the fenders line-up? More pics?

Looking forward to getting/ordering my front part next week.

I was at the hardware store last week, and saw something that may work for the front spoiler lip underneath the front shell.

It was in the gardening department, and was a thick black plastic roll of flower bed edging. I don't know the exact name for the stuff, but it came in several widths, and you use it to separate a flower bed from your lawn.

It was cheap too, may be worth looking in to.

Tom

Looking good Brian! I hope your transaction w/ Brad went flawlessly.

Kevin, I have some picks of the BW part, but I'm having problems opening it. IF I can get the files to open rright, I'll post them. They should show plenty of details (thanks Dave).

The transaction with Brad went very smoothly. His parts are of a very good quality. The rear bumper lined up fairly well requiring only a little massaging. The factory screws/speedclips and bolts can all be reused in mounting the bumper (I did, however, replace the screws with new #10 zinc sheet metal screws from Home Depot). I had to remove the rubber strip to get the nice clean look. Also, on the corners where the turn signals are located, I had to do a little grinding with a wheel because there was some metal that protruded a little too far into the bumper shelf. All told including removal of old bumper and muffler and fitting of new rear bumper, I'd say I have about 3-4 hours in it, tops. I'll go zap some more pics for you.

Next question, does anyone have any good exhaust ideas? I'm considering adding the second outlet to my factory muffler or going the flowmaster route. I don't want to hack the bumper up til I figure that out though.

What type of mirrors are these? does anyone know?

Thanks, Jorge (Targa Dude):cool:

"Does anyone have any exhaust ideas?" Man, are you gonna be sorry you asked that!

Thanks for posting the pic - that bumper looks sooooooo sweet! I picked mine up at BW last week and also found Brad to be a great guy, and the parts are very nice.

Tom - GREAT idea for the front lip, although I don't know how much room there's going to be down there. After I get mine installed, I may modify or fabricate a new protection bar (the one that bolts to the floor pan and protects the bottom of the apron).

Souk - sorry about the problems with the pic files - let me know if you want them in another format, I'd be happy to resend them!

My camera sucks, so that is about the best I can do. Hopefully it gives you an idea until Souk can get some pics up. Porsche parts took priority over a camera!

I think the mirrors are DTM, I have the same ones.

I was going to place my order this week, but the back of the front piece is a little disconcerning. There appears to be no lower lip to mount the Ruf lower rubber spoiler to. They appear to be different from the back of the piece that Bill V posted which I thought were also BW pieces.

Todd, all the vendors I talked to didn't think their part would accomodate the ruf lip very we well. E-mail me if you'd like, and I'll give you the non-public info.

Ruf spoilers
 

a picture of 78 930 with Ruf spoilers...mounted very simply...no reinforcement behind. Car weighs approximately 2300 pounds.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and installed it last weekend, the front anyway. It went pretty easy and the fit is good. I was disconcerted also about the lip. Pie and I have the same thought about the garden edging. One could slit the round part on the top and slip it over the lip. This would possibly give something on the top and bottom to drill and bolt through.
Brad tried to tell me something to try. I got this roll of industrial rubber from the rubber place that would have been perfect had we had a lip. Brad suggested getting some thick rubber and using some kick butt adhesive inside the bottom lip and attaching a thick strip of rubber to the inner lip. Then using the adhesive and some screws to glue, bind the quarter inch lip to the rubber. I like the idea and might go to the rubber place and see if they have some thick stuff. This might work better than screwing the edging to the bottom which, in an off road excursion, might damage the glas.
The rear bumper I had picked up cheaply, had the vents cut out, by the black marks on it it obviously had the duel out sport muffler. I am going to do that and if too loud, add some Harley baffles inside the outlets to quiet it down some.
Mu painting was acceptable, but the new hood I got will have to be painted for the third time. If any of you remember, I had vandals take a flying leap on it one night parked outside the theatre. Bummed me out considerbly. The first go around, I got the runs, the second was ok, but I had it hanging from the ceiling and the cotton pickin phone kept ringing while I was fitting the front, I stood up quickly and banged the hood which sent it tumbling into my neck and to the chair and then floor. It put a small dent on the front edge, (I was lucky). The painting experience was not that good, after I finished the painting, I went outside to throw some stuff away, and ran into a limb of a pine tree and scratched me eye pretty good. Then three nights later I had the hood peg me in the neck! I am getting clumsy, but plan to be more careful. Just a note, don't paint a hood hanging down, gravity is not good, in retrospect, it had too much orangepeel from the gravity. next time it will be on the sawhorses!

pic was too large
 

could not reduce enough...computer illiteracy!

by the way, my front end went up by 1/2 inch or more with the weight off!

Wow Jon... I don't know whether to laugh or express my simpathy. Can do both?

Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck! LOL!!!!

If it makes you feel better, I almost broke three fingers tonight! Damn delivery service put my HF lift in the Porsche spot in the garage, and they set it on a pallet that got pretty mangled up when they placed it down. I wasn't home to direct. So I had to struggle to get the dang lift free and slide it off the crating! Something let loose and BANG! my fingers between the lift and the crating! I should have been more careful :(

So good luck from here on right? Right!

lin, e-mail me the picture and I'll post it for you. Better yet, tell us what program you are using, and we'll teach you how to fish! ("Feed a man a fish. you feed him for one day. Teach the man to fish, and you feed him for life!")

Here you go lin....nice! Tell us more about it.

Well, back to the garage! The pain has mostly gone away.
