Good custom product
Do not spec this part to be an easy install like a plug and play. This is a custom part so take your time. Patience is the key. When installing the nutsert make sure they are perfectly aligned. Else you will have to adjust them.
Trim the panel where ever possible.
If you are going to reuse the inside door opener make sure you trim them. I suggest using a dremel tool. You can also use the dremel tool to drill the holes for the bolts.
I started with the passenger side, right side, door and took me longer than expected. Once i learnt some tricks etc i went to the driver side, left side. This side was easier.
Take your time, patience is the key when installing this product. But the end result looks great. -

E46M3 light door panels installed!
So I finally got around to install my ABS light weight doors. I decided to retain the OEM inside door handle pull as they are negligible in weight but look great. The finished installed panels look fantastic and are indeed very light. They follow the steel door surface quite well. However, installation requires being patient and careful. The indents in the panel where you need to drill to match the nutsert may not in fact be lined up properly. But you can bend the nutsert and its screwed in attachment just enough to have good alignment. Be extremely careful with the black plastic fiber spacers as they are very fragile and crack easily if you try to bend them or overtighten them. Other than that, as I said, the finished installed product is quite appealing for a track car and very light. And the price was good value.
