Getting the door panel and bolts off was quick and painless. Maybe 5 minutes per side. I even trimmed the plastic rubber mold piece so it covers the gap below the mirror so no water can enter the door. I did end up just snipping the cables for the electronic controls on the stock mirrors. I'll solder them together later at some point.
