I looked at those and didn't opt for them because I didn't want to have to deal with "other things" after the doors came off.
What I ended up doing was order the Rugged Ridge mirror relocation kit

When I got the kit I had a body shop paint to match the black disks for my silver jeep.
You can still see that something is there, but for $60 it was worth it. I'll post pictures soon...
But point is that now I don't deal with mirror issues.

you know i have the lange ones and they whistled so i went and got silcone then they vibrated so i tightened up the phillips on the back but even after that they DO the one thing i want them to do and thats show me if there is a car in the lane im trying to get into. Maybe the car looks like its in an earthquake but i can still see them. They serve there purpose for me. But i didnt get the one that connects to the hinge i got the lange quick release 2's. They come witha bracket i think its better.

American Outlaw Black Mirrors
They are narrower in width than the stock mirrors so do not give the best wide-angle views, but definitely the best choice I've found in both practical and cosmetic looks.

I had purchased the same mirrors from Q-tech, and I do not like them at all either. They vibrate, the mirror looses the position you like. Overall their just pretty crappy mirrors.
But at least it allows me to take the doors off legal until I get around to getting something better.
They were cheap so I was fully expecting cheap mirrors, do I recommend them? not at all.

I have the same : American Outlaw Black Mirrors - they are great when doorless, no vibrations at all and the stick at the angle you point them.

That are so many cheap options for this. I like my 5.99 mirror that screws into the windshield.
