the shape is different on the A pillar part of the base which causes the coupe base to be about half an inch shorter on the A pillar part

I wonder if you could use the correct bases ie. sedan mirror base with coupe mirror housing? I would need to see the sedan one to know if it would work.

The coupe ones look too "Nissan altima" in my opinion. In fact, altima mirrors might be an easier swap for all I know. The new ones have turn signals as well.

IMO, they don't go with the roundness of the sedan. They're too jagged and big.

Actually...i was looking at an M35x today. The mirrors are very similar to the coupe and might be easier to retrofit on.
