Icon2 EDM mirrors...HELP

Hopefully you guys can help me. I scored a pair of EDM heated,power,manual folding mirrors off eBay. I took them to the best body shop in town for paint. Well upon assembly they broke the mirror face on the drivers side. Is there another car that uses the same heated mirror face? Or is there another option??? My mirrors are basically useless at the moment...

The Canadian 7th gens with power mirrors have a defogger. The plug will have 5 wires instead of 3. Cross your fingers it's the same shape.

They offered to pay for it, but I don't know where to buy or what to replace it with?

Anybody know if the ep3 or hybrid mirrors have the same shape? And of they will work in the housing? I'm willing to give up the heated option for looks? Thanks fellas

Hybrid mirrors only fit on sedans... not sure about just the mirror piece itself though...

Sorry but thats a stupid thought. Make them replace the entire mirror at cost.

The mirror piece should be the same size.

Hondaoriginalparts.com, if they are footing the bill, than shipping should be no big deal
