The holes are stamped through the metal and not closed. Would be difficult to get mud out from inside. Guess they could just be washed out and drip dried. Here are a few more photos. Didn't get a chance to put them on again but will adjust the latches and update this thread.
Will put them back on over the weekend and adjust the latches. Got the body armor mirrors locally at morris 4x4. Took a few hrs to drill holes in the doors, screw on the mirrors and put the latches and door hinges on. Door can take any aftermarket mirror but you have to drill hole in door and...

The fuel beasts are matte black with tint but look lighter- more like gunmetal. Goes well with the sting gray. Had black on my JK and wanted more contrast/ see features of the wheel vs black
