I just got these European aspheric mirrors today (for those who don't understand, read http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/boxster/mirrors.html ). I can now see my blind spot at the driver's side with the mirror! FYI, the US spec left mirror is flat and the right side is convex. The European ones are convex on both sides, but on the left side it curves to an even more radical angle as you go towards the outside. I also replaced the right side mirror which is the same as the US spec one except it doesn't have that stupid warning imprint. You want a cheap useful mod? This is it. Money spent: 25 bucks. I popped the stock mirror glass off and popped in these new ones. All you have to do is just yank the mirror off with your bare hands.

Objects in mirror ARE closer than they appear!
You can see the divider line where it goes to bug eye view:
The boxes:
To get them you will have to talk to an importer. The part numbers are:
BJ4B-69-1G7A for the left side
B21M-69-1G1A for the right side
These will ONLY fit the painted 3rd gen mirrors, they will NOT work on the black mirrors. They will also fit the 97-98 2nd gen mirrors (yes, they're not painted, but they're made by the same supplier)
If you have unpainted black mirrors, then the part numbers are:
BJ3E-69-183 for the left side
B25D-69-123 for the right side
