Default How do you tell if a Spoon tower bar is a Spoon?

I just bought a "Spoon" tower bar off Ebay.
How do I know this is a Spoon bar? There are no stamps or logos or serial numbers on it.
Did I get ripped off or a good deal??
Please help!!


There is a small hole in the middle of the bar. But there are no other markings on it.

As expensive and reputable spoon is, they will have their logo on the product. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I would definitely check again to see of there is a logo on there.

It LOOKS like a spoon bar. Actually, i don't know also since my spoon rear bar did not have any logos either. This is for a DA chassis.

SPOON has a STAMP on the BRACKET(s). I have two sets for my Hatchbacks both my front and my rear have SPOON stamped on the brackets.

I bought both sets different years and the only difference is the bracket layout.

Looks like the bar is a Spoon piece but the mounts are very different looking plus no Spoon Stamp on that bad boy = Bad MoJo

you can tell if its a Spoon by checking one end of it.. It should be semi bowled in shape...shouldnt be that heavy...and have a handle like end on the opposite side from the bowled end.....

ok lame joke..sorry...

Fraud.... demand your money back. I'd want a stamp just to be able to brag about it. If he can't prove it's real, then it's fraud.

the spoon bars' brackets are NOT complete circles.
your bar has complete circle brackets, so NO spoon.

spoon bars have 'spoon' stamped on the brackets.
your bar has no 'spoon' stamp, so NO spoon.

it looks VERY similar, could it be n early production model? -doubt it....
don't the skunk2 bars look like the one you have?

that was arrogant and wrong. i have a spoon front and rear, and the front has full circle brackets. this is also for a Prelude, as applications may differ. my rear has open ended brackets.

jesh, I guess I should have specified I knew of my G3 teg bars only.
not trying to be a dork, nor arrogant. you can be nice and add to my answer not tear me up.

It's very possible that it's a Skunk2 bar, they look exactly the same.
