Default 94-97 Accord mirror question

I just got hit-and-run on my driver side mirror on my 1994 Accord EX 2dr. I searched on ebay and only 4dr mirrors are available. I know 2dr mirrors and 4dr mirrors have different part number but I thought their appearance just look the same. Has anybody tried to put a 4dr mirror on 2dr? Do you know if the 4dr mirror will fit 2dr with very little modifications?

Thanks

Are you really sure about this? I don't want to order the useless part.. also I am confused about them having different part numbers if they are identical.

Thank you so much

So I can't bolt the 4dr mirror to the 2dr chassis without modification since they have different bolt pattern?

Thanks

ANS : Again if youre talking about removing the whole sidemirror assy from a 4door then transfer to a 2dr it wont fit. you can but you need to drill/revise the holes onto the door

you can make it fit (if your desperate) but you need to enlarge the 2 holes and make a completely new hole for the 3rd bolt
