95 and 96 civic's are two different chassis, they don't interchange

As Deetz said, the mirrors would not fit. At best you would have to modify them and then it would still look bad.

Interestingly enough, people who own US 6th gen Civics often are looking to change to the overseas mirrors, which look more like the 5th gen Civic mirrors.

I would agree that the general design of Spoon mirrors is very similar to 6th gen US mirrors.

They both have that elephant ear look and not the mirrors on little "stalks" like 5th gens and overseas 6th gens.

It's as close as he's going to get to the look he says he wants.

if you wanna be **** about it, but they share a general design (elephant ears)

which is the closest you can get to the 6th gen style without modding the actual 6th gen mirrors to fit

yes they can fit. EK mirrors in to EG, but EG mirrors in to EK don't fit. a lot of guys are doing it on hawaii. but i think u have to drill a extra hole because one of the holes don't line up.

Just for the record I have seen 5th gen mirrors on a 6th gen once, it was on a sedan, actually it was just the driver's side, passenger's side was still a 6th gen mirror, It seemed to fit ok, it was on a neighbours civic. I figure it was done just because they needed a mirror and this was available.

What do you mean?

There's links above to photos of '96-'00 mirrors on '92-'95 Civics.

"EK" usually refers to at least some sort of '96-'00 Civic (all the mirrors look generally the same).

"EJ" can refer to '96-'00 Civics (coupe, hatch, sedan) or '93-'95 coupes.
