It’s been awhile since I updated this blog, but I wanted to write out a full review and installation of the Spoon Blue Mirror on my DC5 Integra / Acura RSX Type S. Just a note, I’ve been more attentive to my YouTube videos which I post weekly.

The Spoon Blue rearview mirror is an essential component of every JDM car. I recently installed one on my car and have been pretty happy with it as it provides more visibility. Sure you can add the Broadway attachment, but this install is clean and integrated much more than an attachment. However, it’s not as seem less as one would think, but i hardly notice now that it’s in my car.  The Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror is a fantastic choice.

The Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror:

The Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror stands out in the market due to its advanced technology derived from the Spoon Hydro Blue Wide Mirror. The mirror boasts a 14000R curvature, ensuring a wide field of vision that surpasses traditional OEM mirrors. Additionally, the blue coating reduces glare, enhancing visibility during various driving conditions. An added advantage is that it installs seamlessly over your existing mirror, making it a convenient and effective upgrade.

Installation Overview:

Installing the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror is a straightforward process. It took me a few minutes, give or take making a video DIY on it. It’s an excellent option for both novice and experienced DIY enthusiasts and a cheaper option these days than buying an OEM rear view mirror. However, it’s crucial to pay attention to a specific detail during installation. I accidentally broke mine during install and I don’t want you to repeat my mistakes.

Installation Steps:

1. Gather Your Tools and remove the old mirror: Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools, including the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror kit, a cleaning solution, and a soft cloth. On the DC5 / RSX, it’s 3 screws on the top after moving the plastic cover on the hoodliner.
2. Prepare the Existing Mirror: Thoroughly clean your existing rearview mirror to ensure a clean and smooth surface for the new installation. Remove any dirt, dust, or residue that may affect the adhesion of the new mirror.
3. Position the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror: Carefully position the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror over your existing mirror. The 14000R curvature provides a wide field of vision, improving your overall driving experience. The curve in the center is normal. Do not attempt to press it down as it will break. See steps 4 and 5.
4. Note the Thicker 3M Tape: Take note of the thicker 3M tape in the middle of the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror. This thicker tape adds stability to the naturally curved mirror. Avoid attempting to straighten out the mirror, as it may lead to breakage. Learn from my experience – follow the natural curve.
5. Avoid Over-Bending: One essential caution is to avoid over-bending the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror. Attempting to straighten it out can result in breakage, as the mirror is designed to maintain a specific curvature. Learn from any mishaps during the installation, and if breakage occurs, it’s always wise to have a spare on hand.
6. Re-install on the car: Once the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror is securely in place, you can put the rearview mirror back on the car just like step 1 with the 3 screws. Make any necessary final adjustments to ensure optimal visibility. Take a moment to appreciate the enhanced field of vision provided by this innovative upgrade.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the Spoon Blue Wide Rear View Mirror is a must-have for those looking to upgrade their old, worn-out rearview mirrors. The installation process is relatively easy, but remember to handle the mirror with care, avoiding unnecessary bending that may lead to breakage. By following these steps and learning from my experience, you can enjoy a clearer, wider view of the road behind you.
