Re: what the difference between REAL spoon mirrors and replicas (GeekinEK)
the quality, would be my guess. i just ordered some matrix racing mirrors on ebay for 61 bucks yesterday. i dunno how they fit though, but they have lots of positive feedback so i'm guessing they be ok.

mirror's are mirror's

but how is the visibility on the passenger side with these.. some people say you can't see jack **** out of the passanger side mirror.. while the driver side mirror is convex and you can see like 4 lanes wide

Re: what the difference between REAL spoon mirrors and replicas (IM ALL BOB)
i remeber reading about this, they are made for a rhd so the mirrors are essentially reversed for usdm cars, i think visibility would be almost non-existant on the passenger side

Re: what the difference between REAL spoon mirrors and replicas (IM ALL BOB)
i got the fakies, a couple of my buddies have real ones.
plastic shell: same chit. cheap plastic. new spoon mirrors are made of CF now. funny because there have been CF fakies for quit some time now. im guessing the cf qualities will be diff but on the plastic ones? same chit.
fitment: from what ive observed, same chit.
weight: seems to be the same, dont see how it could be so much different.
lense: on real spoon mirrors its a normal colored mirror. it has a rubber ring around the glass.older models have clear non convex glass, spoon now offers mirrors with the blue convex glass as well. the fake ones all have the blue convex glass from what ive seen.
sight: as quoted from marty. "vision mirrors offer no vision" i think the old ones with the non convex glass suck. the convex glass is awesome, but i think someone needs to design some for left hand drive, as the passenger side its just a total waste. lol. while like im all bob said, the driver side allows u to see like every damn lane in back of you, lol.
worth paying 300+ for "real" ones? not me but thats just my opinion. anyone whos ever had a real one in person/in hand will know that 300 for such flimsy delicate plastic on a 300 dollar product is kinda
. but people will buy what they want so to each is own. 
these are my fake ones. *shrug*

Yeah, if anyone has seen the real Vision/Spoon and the fakes...You wouldn't buy the real ones. The fakes are actually made of a thicker plastic, and in my opinion nicer. The lens on the fakes need to be fiddled with before install though.
