Suma Performance Anti Glare Mirrors

[adriansayyss]

Been on the fence on whether I should pull the trigger on the spoon anti glare mirrors but I didn't like how I lost the defrosters and how its a stick on instead of a mirror replacement. I then found Suma Performance from multiple subaru forums and I've seen their mirrors in person so I decided to contact him and to my surprise he made a special batch for the 10th gens! ( this is not a paid advert and i'm strictly giving other options to the spoon mirrors)

The following photos are the anti glare w/ defrosters.

Price? Link? Any left? They make them for both sides? Seems intriguing but I’d like to learn more.

Looks good, not even sure if my civic has defrost on the mirrors that is a very nice alternative.

Nice! I eventually want to get some for my FK7, whichever brand I get won't be for a bit though

pretty much the same one on Aliexpress for $76, been using for past 6 months, no problem except for the led turn signal, they are very dim.

Does it require splicing or is it plug n play?

Suma's doesn't, the one from aliexpress does since it has turn signals.

Hi, this is Eddy from Suma Performance! Yes!! Our mirrors (without the turn signals) are simply plug and play. In addition, I'd like to point out a few differences.

SUMA MIRRORS TRUELY WIDE ANGLE
Suma Performance mirrors are R1000, whereas other mirrors R1400. (The smaller the R-number, the wider the view). If you compare the before/after mirrors in adriansayss' post and that of other mirrors, you can clearly tell that you can see more objects in Suma Performance mirrors.

SUMA MIRRORS TRUELY ANIT-GLARE || COLOR DON'T FADE
Our mirrors go through a stringent, proprietary manufacturing process (SOGEL NANO process) that takes multiple steps/days to produce our signature, blue hue mirrors such that the mirrors themselves are actually clear and colorless (we have several patents and are the only manufacturer uses this process).

The reason Suma Mirrors look blue is because it absorbs all spectrum of the colors except the blue color that's pleasant to the eyes. Thus, Suma Mirrors effectively reduce glare (the yellow color spectrum, which causes the glare, is absorbed).

Other mirrors, in contrast, they use the vacuum coating process such that the blue color is actually coated on the mirror itself (unlike ours, clear/colorless mirrors that only reflect blue color). Based on that, they are not truly anti-glare because the glare is still reflected to human eyes. In addition, the blue coating will eventually corrode/fade.

I apologize that this is kind of wordy! but I thought it is important to point out the differences. If you have any more questions, please do reach out to me on this forum or [email protected], thanks!!

You have my attention for sure, that was something I noticed with my Spoon interior mirror is that it seems to have faded some over time. It is still blue but no longer has that nice blue tint to it like it once did . So these actually replace the OEM mirror glass itself? how long will you guys offer them? I am thinking of getting the blue mirrors in a few months when I finally swap out my mirror caps with the carbon fiber ones I have.

Yes! These are OEM replacement, replacing the OEM mirror glass itself! no adhesive. We'll continue offering them as long as there is a demand

What features do you need? defroster and/or blinker on the mirror?
