You don't need to remove the whole door panel, just the plastic triangular piece where the door meets the A pillar, then the three screws are behind that.

if you bought the m3 ones you wont be able to take the stock ones off.
theyre retard proof.
consider it as your car doing you a favor.

not to mention that they wont flow with the body line and will probably leave horrible gaps unless you trim or custom make a new shroud for them.

srsly, just throw them out.

M3 mirrors damn thats rice.

chances are they wont fit and u will have to splice cables to make the ____ blinker to work thats if u bought the ones with the blinkers which are jus as ____ as the regular ones.

do urself a favor and stay away from those things get rid of them ASAP and let the next moron deal with those rice mirrors.

Stock mirrors>ALL riced ones
