I am not a fan of most knock-off products purely because of quality. I would think twice about picking these up. I wonder if you could find a real set in Asia, etc and have them shipped?

There going to be sprayed so not paying Spoon prices + Spoon aint electric

I just want the carbon effect around the edge if you know what I mean.

The Spoons are expensive I will admit, but in comparison to OEM they are in the same ballpark. Like I said, quality would be my main reason to or not to buy this item. I personally like the Spoon mirror's design in terms of looks. I want the blue glass for antiglare, which would be one of the main reasons I would want to buy them.

x2... my friend bought some knock-off mirrors like this and the mounting holes didn't line up at all so he couldn't even use them. Ended up wasting like $120 on them when he could've paid the extra and had some good quality, fitting ones.

I like the looks, but again, I would love the anti-glare lenses since I wear contacts. I want to buy just the glass for the DD civic but I don't see the install going well. The idea of swapping just the glass seams pretty daunting.

Have you seen the spoon replacement lenses? I believe they just stick on to your existing glass.

Printed carbon is usually just an overlayed sticker. I bet you could unstick it prior to paint.

I was under the impression they replaced the current lenses...which is why I am cautious about purchasing them.
