did not think I needed it with Lane Change Assist and now that I see the price of just under $400 with my LCA and auto-diming I really don't think I need it ....

hopefully someone that bought it can give you their thoughts.....

Matt Farrah of The Smoking Tire just mentioned these on his latest review of the GTS. He said he had been driving German market press cars around LA that come equipped with these, and said they are well worth while. I think he said he been driving a 992 for weeks with them. Said one of the best "cheap" mods you can do and super worthwhile. I had looked for them right after he had mentioned them but couldn't find them because it looked like they were grouped with 992 stuff.

I ordered one for my as yet to be delivered CT4. I’ll try to remember to leave feedback here when I install it.

I picked up a driver side aspherical mirror on a recent trip to Germany. Install is 15 min and dead easy. A second set of hands can be useful, though are not required. I agree with Matt that it is a useful upgrade. Yes, it's the better part of $500, but heck most of us paid $500 for electric sport sounds. You don't technically need it with LCA but actually seeing what is going on still beats the orange lights when it comes to awareness. I suspect whether you consider it worth it depends on your priorities and driving habits.
I didn't have the time to determine if the german market cars have aspherical passenger side mirrors as well, that's a project for another time.

Does it still have the LCA lights?

Yes, the only change is in the mirror surface. The lights and auto dimming is what makes the mirror glass expensive in my case. There are a ton of different versions of the mirror glass. Make sure you order the right one. It's fairly easy on the suncoast site.

Is this not standard - it is in UK / Europe?

Check your standard spec sheet where this will be mentioned.

Stick your build code into the Porsche configurator. Then click the standard features tab at bottom. Should say there.
