#117620 I think you answer your own question.
They look better but you see worse in them...

You just got to ask yourself - what is the reason with rear view mirrors?

Hit the nail on the head.

I like mine, though i didnt have a passenger side mirror from the factory.

#117701 so i take it both of you second the problem of not seeing too too good?

thats all i was wondering, is that if you have them state your opinion about them.


how good can you see with them?
pros and cons?
is it livable to deal with how much you can see?

and anything else you can think of about them.

#117716 I recently installed my ebay-spoon mirrors.
I don´t know what it is called in english... But the glass in the oem mirrors are like this: ")" and the glass in the Spoon mirrors are like this: "|".
Even though it is a pretty big area of glass, you don´t get that much information of what´s behind you.
Maybe it is possible to change the mirror into something better?

Anyhow, yes, the result as a mirror is worse then oem. But i can live with that ;)

#178289 my input:
I gots them (knock offs) and as far as visibility they are livable with.
but spoon mirrors + 5 panel wink mirror = perfection.
i love the look of them on, thus i will deal with "livable" visibility. Either way I turn my head everytime i merge, even with the wink mirror
:lol:

good luck dudeski!

This is the set up I have on my sedan. The wink mirror more than makes up for the visibility from the spoon mirrors.
