I haven't taken my doors off yet. I'm looking for mirrors and came across this on Amazon.

I like the Idea, but depending on your state I don't think that would qualify.

California law states:

(a) Every motor vehicle registered in a foreign jurisdiction and every motorcycle subject to registration in this state shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such vehicle.

Every motor vehicle subject to registration in this state, except a motorcycle, shall be equipped with not less than two such mirrors, including one affixed to the left-hand side.

(I am not sure whether or not those mirrors meet the legal definition of "affixed to the left-hand side." I would lean towards no.)

(b) The following described types of motor vehicles, of a type subject to registration, shall be equipped with mirrors on both the left-and right-hand sides of the vehicle so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway through each mirror for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such vehicle:

(1) A motor vehicle so constructed or loaded as to obstruct the driver's view to the rear.

(2) A motor vehicle towing a vehicle and the towed vehicle or load thereon obstructs the driver's view to the rear.

(3) A bus or trolley coach.

(c) The provisions of subdivision (b) shall not apply to a passenger vehicle when the load obstructing the driver's view consists of passengers. Amended Ch. 74, Stats. 1970. Effective November 23, 1970.

Plus, these probably won't stick once you turn the heat on. I know my vents can get really hot.

Those are great for blindspot mirrors(I had them on my JK). Combined with the Tazer that turns on the backup camera when you put on the blinkers would be better than any doorless mirrors I have tried. I'm not sure how the law would feel about it, but I feel safer with just the rear camera than the hinge mount mirrors I have.
