Ok...got em...
Foam removed....ahhh the tabs!
Tabs removed:
Foam back on:
Didnt have to wallow out main hole. Expanded smaller ones top and back then made a new hole between large and small front one about 1/2" up from the smaller hole.
You can place the unit against it and move it to mark the paint where to drill.
I didnt have to drill out to 1/2" holes. just bumped it up enough to clear.
I also used touch up paint on the metal so there wouldnt be any rust issues.
put it on - nut & plug it in.
Ext shot:
Now snap on covers....being careful not to break them (as I did)
A little 3M tape and whalla.....:
Better pix of overall car when it cools down a bit....

Good job, looks nice...but yeah, maybe if I happen to break one of them I would go for the upgrade ( I like the blind spot on the mirror ) but otherwise matchin color mirror covers on the stock ones are fine for now.
