You still find them online, I found a couple of websites that have them in Canada.

Until you place an order, and receive an email stating they've been discontinued.
You need to find a retailer who actually purchased a pair, and has them on a shelf.
so there is a size difference in the two. was wondering about that.
Correct me if I'm wrong- the spoon aero mirrors attach to the NSX OEM location?

Those mirrors are spoon for s2k.

You can cut apart a set of spoon S2000 mirrors and piece them back together to work. I actually have a set that I did the same. There are 2 issues. First, the mounting plate is at the wrong angle, size and pitch for it to work on an NSX. A person could remake the bottom of the mount with what ever filler or casting material they wanted to make it look good. How well it lasts would be determined by what was used. Second, the material the Spoon mirrors are made from are from is a polyester resin soaked spun fiberglass matte with a black gel coat surface. They are very thin and showed quite a bit of spider cracks. I would think they could be finished and sprayed with an automotive grade color and clear and they would be fine. Again, hard to tell how it would last.
It was my opinion that starting from scratch would produce the best finished product. Then, produce them in a means that included no styrene based resins or gel coats fillers. All the internal parts were machined from aluminum and titanium and the actuator assemblies were sourced from a Honda supplier.
That by no means is the only option. (At one time I even explored plastic injection molding for the housing)
There are many casting options and material selections a person could use. They will all effect the cost and quality of the finished product.
I have not completely discounted the idea of making more. However, if I do, they will be even more limited run with a hybrid material like aramid, boron or carbon fiber with titanium tracers.
The original run of 12 solid carbon fiber ones are now done.

Any chance on making a less expensive FRP version?
No, The only real suitable option would be e-glass and that would not effect the price that much (nor would any fiberglass option). Most of the cost is in labor and tooling.
I would hate to paint a CF version thats all. I wish had the cash at the time to jump on a set in your first run.
I paint carbon fiber all the time. It is ultimately the best U/V protection. I do understand though that if it is carbon fiber, most people want to show it off.
Everytime I see this thread getting bumped I thing Jeff is making an announcement on new mirrors! The teasing is worse than being in the strip club!:banghead:
You should go to a latin strip club, no teasing there ha!
Actually there are a few in Austin theat are good, but not Carbon 6:Super GT CF mirror good!!!!!!:biggrin:

NO MORE AWESOME MIRRORS!!! :frown:
My blood pressure just went up.
Just got my RHD installed pick up car tomorrow photos this weekend. Can't wait !
I think Jeff needs to make another batch. Maybe just make a SLIGHT change to the base or something unnoticeable so the original owners don't get butthurt.
No lol keep it exclusive , like he said he would do ,IMO
Nico, Make sure you post a few pictures.
hopefully Jeff will be kind enough to retro these for us some day :biggrin:
I agree; it's the difference between the intention of the original item vs a technicality.
Calling out the original owners, and asking their permission for further production, is also in poor taste, since they may want to keep the mirrors exclusive, but don't want to be on record as doing so.
It's a cool mirror, and I write these things as someone who would have snapped up even the last RHD set, had I seen the update in time.
