what are some main differences that set them apart. i found some on marketplace and may buy them. im referring to the non CF ones. some say the real ones have the blue tint, but i've seen ebay fakies for 39$ with the tint. can some spoon ****** help me out??

I'd say the weave pattern

i heard visibilty sucks, but that can be fixed with a mod

 

^^^^ Hit the nail on the head. (no, not )

IMO, if they're not carbon fiber, they're not worth the spoon name. I've got some "spoom" mirrors, and the visibility isn't very good until you reset the mirrors. After that, it's gravy. They're light, they're sleek (compared to the mickey mouse ears my car had), and they don't cost a **** ton of money, because mirrors aren't supposed to. (unless you're a hardcore JDMer)

If you're interested in saving some money for something that will not likely go wrong as a result of saving said money, I say just get the spoom mirrors, mod them to your personal preference for better visibility, and enjoy.

 

ive heard that there is a spoon "line'' that stretches across the top of it.

 

But what's it do? Lol, just keep in mind that if you really wanted Spoon mirrors for the Spoon bling, you should just look into getting the CF ones. Just my $.02, I don't want to be one of "those" guys that imposes their will on people through H-T.

 

Someone correct me if im wrong

Spoon Plastic mirrors have like a trim around the glass (like oem if i remember right) and also on the inside of the base there is like foam **** for insulation (also like oem) haha i think thats what i remember from when i looked at them...

Spoom one are just plastic and glass.... not that thats ness. a bad thing

 

IMO it's the same thing.. just as long as you have mirrors, you're good &lt;'Douche-Bag'Waddy&gt;"You need mirrors, and I'm a douche-bag."

 

i bought "spoon" plastic mirrors on ebay, quality is good, they were like $65 total i think... fitment is alright, not perfect, it's good for the price.

 

thanks alot, for all the responses, i planned on getting the non CF ones because i'm going to paint match them regaurdless. it sounds like the legit spoon ones are better quality of course. i gues im just going for the bling factor. :/

 

^that's what i'm doing, painting the base and leaving the mirror part flat black, thats the reason i didn't go with the spoon's... many people go for it just for the CF, up to you, i've grown out of the "CF" stage...

 

no, im color matching the mirror, and leaving the base black. both ways look good imo.

 

^yep!

because you have a white ek, it'll still look good if you leave it CF. have you seen the spoon ek? looks good with black mirrors.

i have a set of vision mc's. vision makes the spoon mirrors, so it's the same thing. blue tinted glass and quality is nice. i got the CF ones, but i was gonna paint over it anyway. since i sold my car, i can't tell you how it is in action though i haven't used them, i'm probably just gonna sell them off if i don't get another car

 

did you have the midori EK with the white RGs?? ^^^^

 

yeps, they were gonna replace my ctr mirrors, but i sold my car

 

The Spoon/Vision knockoffs are asymmetrical and it bothers me every time I see a set. I'm sure it doesn't matter to most, but I'm **** and it bugs me.

if your gona paint them to color match, just get the spoon cf's or some vision cf's.

 

yeah, thanks you guys, i've been looking into the vision ones for some time also, i'll probably be getting some next week. i'll keep posted.

 

i had the ebay ones on my old hatch, no problems
