Default switching back to OEM 98+ mirrors on DC2 vs Spoon replicas Poll what u think?

thinking about switching back to my old style of 98+ side view mirrors, iono its a hard decision.. leaving it as it is, or putting back on 98+side view mirrors.. or get some power foldings ones if i can.. which one do u think looks better..

Pros to switching back to OEM:
-u can see better /w OEM
-has a different look / style to it

Cons:
-gotta re-paint
-gotta re-wire up mirrors & i dont know how at the moment; gotta research

here example pics:

mine /w spoon replicas:


mine old /w 95 oem mirrors(only diff between 95 vs 98+ is theres a lil line / identation on mirrors:

ic, just thought it'd be 94-97 vs 98+. but guess its 94-95 vs 96+

but on my decision.. got a friend who has some 94-95 ones same color GPW as mine, and he's gonna sell me or give me them for cheap, so if i still hvae the car by then gonna switch to those mirrors.

I always wondered, the "powered spoon style" mirrors, are they direct connection or do you have to splice and stuff?

It looks lower with the OEM mirrors because they stick out that extra amount and make the car look wider and therefore a bit more slaMMed either way the car is siCk

I used to have that first pic you posted as my wallpaper for a while. It was to get me motivated to make my car look just as good. Lovin your car bro!

Anyways, I'd say switch em up. I had the replicas on my teg for a while then sold them. There definetly nice but hard to see out of. Whatever the decision the car will still look sick.
