None haha. In the great state of Georgia cops won't bother you over it. My head swivels like most people's so it's never been much of a problem. The ones I would get if I did would be the ones that clip onto the hinge. The brackets to move the mirrors are too much work

I am cheap haha, I bought $2.99 blind spot round mirrors and stuck them to my air vents. this way they can still flip around and I cant see them when I am using the vents. also flip all the way around so you cant see them at all if you want your vents shut. plus its kind of handy how you can still "adjust" them haha by turning/tipping the vent to get your good viewing angle.

A cheapo $15 mirror for the drivers side from my local autozone.

Its not terribly useful but it keeps me from getting pulled over and since it only takes a minute to install I usually take it off when I get off road. I don't use a passenger side mirror with the doors off.

I picked up a set of bicycle mirrors from Canadian Tire (not in the US - sorry) for $4.99 each. They work well, and so far are stable up to 60 mph.

I'm also bought the new Rugged Ridge mirrors kit. Haven't had the doors off since I bought them but here they are on my floor

The RR mirrors above don't vibrate like the ones I stuck in my hinge did, and I paid $45 for two, but the sell them singly so they are inexpensive
