so i got a really good deal on some spoon mirrors for my type R
now what i want to know is how can i tell if the mirrors are real spoons
or fake??

any help is appreciated thanks

 

You should really attempt to use the SEARCH button for your simple questions.

 

real ones have blue tinted glass and the inside by where the actual mirror is is still CF while the knock offs have no tinted glass but some do but the knock offs dont have CF inside behind the glass

 

if it's like my vision mirrors, the left hand (USDM driver side) mirror will be the the 'objects are closer than they appear' style mirror.

 

The spoon mirrors are labled on the inside of the mounting part of the mirror. Also, the spoon mirrors are only not plastic on the inside like he said.

 

ok thank you and sorry about not using the search button

ok i got the mirrors and there real they got carbon going inside the glass too
the mirror is tinted blue
but they dont say 'objects are closer than they appear'

 

no no, sorry for the confusion but they wouldn't say that on there.

what i meant was that your driver side mirror is the JDM passenger side mirror which is curved differently for the wideangle perspective...hope that makes sense.

 

you'll know its real when you try backing into your garage and accidentally clip the passenger side mirror, and it doesnt break.

 

lol ill kep that in mind

 

Half of your post is right.

However, Spoon and Visions 1st gen mirrors are all plastic with clear mirrors. These mirrors have rubber molding (which most of the time, fall off with age) and actual mechanics for the mirror swival. I can take some photos if the originator of the this post would like to see for clarification.

 

I have Spoon DC2 carbon mirrors for sale that have only been used for a couple months.. PM if you are interested.

 

^^^ you got any pics you can pm me or post up

 

This is the only picture I have of them right now but they are mint because they haven't been on my car very long.

 

which picture lol sorry i didnt see a pic

 

do the real spoon c/f mirrors have the base in c/f too or just the mirror housing?

 

Just the mirror housing. Here's a few pics of mine i found if this helps at all.

 

yeah that helps, thanks.

My nephew has some spoon "style" mirrors that he says they're real and once he said they weren't then he goes on saying they're real. One thing that got me to believe they were fake was the passenger mirror is F'd up, it's broken and angled down and he said he got it that way. If i bought new spoon mirrors and it was broken, you best believe I'm returning them.

 

The passenger side of the Spoon/Vision mirrors is angled funny. These mirrors were made for a right hand drive car and the magnified mirror is also switched around.

 

thanks for the pics sir
they look like the ones i got here locally
ill post pics so you guys can see them

and about the angle i noticed that too
i guess my question got answered

 

Yeah, but in his car you'd have to sit in the car with NO seat to be able to see w/ that angle on the mirror. It's looking straight at the road and you can't move it.

If that's how the REAL ones are then they aint worth a dime

 

heres a coupl pics i took of them today

 

can i have your mirrors please??

 

ther for sale lol

 

so i put them on my car just to see how they would look and to be honest they look kinda weird all small and stuff not sure if some othr spoon mirror owners feel the same but its how i look at it
dont get me wrong i love the mirrors just not really on my car
