Rear view mirror replacement: Suma or Spoon?

[DOZOIR]

I am interested in the convex wide angle rear review mirror glass with the unique blue hue that Suma and Spoon offer.

Are they essentially the same product or is one better in any way than the other? Asking for some feedback.

Thanks!

Suma! No one’s impressed by your Spoon mirrors, trust me!

I went with suma since the side mirrors were replacements instead of the spoon stick-ons and wanted to keep the same brand for the set

Thanks for the feedback.
Regarding the installation, I have read that the Suma glass does not fit flush over the OEM glass due to the thickness of the included 3M tape. Has anyone used thinner tape resulting in a better fitment?

As someone with the spoon one, I would call them a waste of money.

Losing the ability to dimm ones mirror is kinda stupid. It might be less of an annoyance with a tinted rear window

Because I have the auto-dimming mirror, neither. If I didn't have the auto-dimming mirror I'd probably get one of the broadway mirrors that attach to the rear view mirror like I used to do in my cars, plus they're only like $20-$30.

But its your car, mod it however you please.

Can't go wrong with this route, if you don't have an auto-dimming mirror, that is. I had a 270mm in my 2002 civic, brought it over to my 2018, then changed out for a 300mm blue broadway mirror (to match the color of my suma mirrors) after my friend kept saying she wanted one (I gave her the 270)
