And the spoon mirrors use oem honda mirror deletes and these are stamped honda on them. I may still have the recept from when i bought them. I do have different bolts cause when painted they were seperated and lost the bolts that came with it.

I have plenty of people that can vouch for them that there real.

I did a little research on Spoon mirrors (both real and fake) last year when deciding on what mirrors to get to replace the OEM mirrors that some idiot kicked off. I would have to say that those are fake.

From what I remember, the real Spoon mirror glass have some sort of plastic or rubbery lining around the edge of the glass. I bought a fake spoon set and the mirror glass doesn't have it. I ended up buying the TYC mirrors since I wasn't happy with the fake Spoons. OEM, Spoon, and the distorted Spoon style mirrors by TYC (which I have) all have that rubber lining.
