Thumbs up Sport Coupe Mirror Swap / Electric mirror upgrade

I just ditched my stock mirrors for a set of remote mirrors from a sport coupe. I did however have to do a couple of small modifications to make them work.
First problem I encountered was that the top mounting hole had to be elongated to line up with the mirror, and secondly, I couldn't use the coupe trim pieces inside the car so I ended up drilling a hole in my stock ones for the remote stick to pass through. Does anyone know if these type of mirrors were even an option for these cars ? I also did notice that there is a slight difference in the angles of the door frames between the 2 cars. All that said, they are a great upgrade over the stock flag type mirrors that constantly get bumped or move on their own.
