Icon2 dc mirrors on ek???

i have a pair or mirrors that supposedly are ctr but i was told that they might be off a dc. my question is, can dc mirrors fit on a ek civic coupe/hatch. they are power but non power folding. im planning on selling them but i dont want to rip someone off.

i believe they bolt up the same its just a matter of getting that corner round enough to fit flush so everything else lines up

the mirrors i have are not from a dc. i looked at dc ones and they are different. my mirrors are exactly like the ones george posted. they have the little bulge or creases accross the middle of the mirror. dc's dont have it, they are completely smooth
