Spoon manuel mirrors VS spoon power mirrors

im looking to upgrade my mirrors on my eg but not only in looks i also want to upgrade them from manuel to power.... i hate always have to lean over.. its annoying...... so i wanted the nice looks of spoon but with the comfert of power... lol

what i was wondering is... well ive seen alot of cars with spoon mirrors but they always seem to be the manuel ones.... i heard the power ones look different a little bit... from what i heard they are ugly and i just wanted to know what exactly the difference is and if anyone has comparison pics

thanx

oh and i wanted to also know what your opinions are on the ebay spoon replicas... anyone have an experience with these... they look good but apperences are decieveing sometimes... let me know

thanx again

how damn often do adjust your mirrors? like once ever?

power mirrors make no sense unless multiple drivers use the car and **** up all your settings all the time

go to option jdm and get em..... Personally when I first got them, I thought the mirror was so small, but now i'm used to it....


And about the power, I dont think it is necessary either, unless you have multiple drivers likes matt said.



I love mine....i think that they flow better with the car

lol... i still want power mirrors... regardless of how many times i use them,... i want to know that the one time i do have to do it i don't have to reach over... its a comfert thing and plus its a ccool little upgrade for my car... its like power windows.. sure you could always reach over.. but it would be nice to have them power also for the few times you want to open up that passenger window......

how many times do you ever sit in the back of your car??? why even have rear seats?? how many times i use it doesn't matter.. i just want it..... i was gonna go with the folding ones cause of the coolness factore but didn't think it would be worth the cash and time to make them look like new just so they could look stock again and do nothing really different but fold...

so i decided thati wanted spoon for the look but power for the convenience

so no one knows the difference between power and non-power spoon mirrors??

i heard the power ones point down a little... is that true??

the prices on option jdm look as if it will make it hurt to walk after from all that rappage in the ***......

i think i'll take my chances on ebay if i decide to get them... ebay hasn't failed me yet so im gonna cross my fingers if i buy them...

Authentic Spoon mirrors are all manual, there is no such thing as "Spoon power mirrors".

Essentially, it is a base with a housing attached by 2 bolts, and 3 bolts to the door. Items being sold on Ebay are just cheap in price, but that won't necessary render the "quality".

Give it a shot if you like the power replica ones.

well yeah i know that there aren't any spoon power mirrors... but im not gonna add replica to the thread name.. its already long enough....

regardless if there arent any or not i still want the power ones......

see if the differnce is that it is only bigger i probably won't mind since spoon are smaller then stock anyways so maybe the power will be just about the same size.. i don't know i think im gonna take a chance...but if any one has any more info plz add ...



does anyone have pics??
