Default Are these REAL Spoon mirrors?

I just bought these mirrors from a fellow h-t member who shall remain nameless until I can prove these are not real, but I don't think they are. For one there is no weather stripping and aren't Spoon mirrors supposed to have convexed lenses? both sides have normal lenses.

My Spoons just have regular glass in them. The weather stripping lasted about a year, and fell off. They look real to me.

It was also brought to my attention that the real ones also are identical while the fakes have that fatter part in the front where the mirror meets the side molding on the fakes. Thanks fowler

I had real Spoons - had the weather stripping. My driver's side got busted out though (I was trying to adjust it a little too far and stuck my thumb through it ) so I got it replaced at a glass shop. Original lens was plastic tho, I've got a pic somewhere of it shattered...

I notice the cracked plastic weather stripping at the corner of the mirror. That's how mine started

Those are 100% fakes.

The plates give them away as being fakes. Spoon/Vision use OEM Honda mirror blocking plates for bases while the fakes use cheap plastic plates.

Look on the passenger side mirror, they're should be a scratch in it on the top part of the mirror in the plastic.

All real spoons should have it so I hear. Apparently there was a flaw
in the mold.

My spoon mirrors have the flaw, and many others do too.
