did you have a problem fitting your M3 mirrors?
If you place the M3's next to the stockers you'll notice some extra plastic under the actual mirror where as the stock one is level below the mirror. This extra plastic gets in the way of the rubber guard in the window and puts the holes in the mirror about 1/4 inch above where the holes in the door frame are. It sucks, it's so close but yet so far.
I was thinking of just cutting the outer guard (looks rubber but if you feel it or try to bend it it's more like compressed cardboard or something) right below where the bottom of the mirror meets the doorframe.
I can take pics if neccessary. Just wanted to know if you had the same problem?
btw, they look nice...the GK gills need to be a little further up imo but then it probably gets in the way of the hump on our fenders. That's why it's not a good idea imo, but you pretty much pulled it off.

^^I had the mirrors done for me, because where I went, they charged less for the mirrors/install/painting then anywhere I could find the mirrors alone...so I dunno, can't really help ya out on that one.
