Default Screw mirror relocation. Low profile mirrors with no doors

I take my doors off every chance I get. I have been looking for a good option to have mirrors, but not have to move my factory mirrors, or spend a ton of money. I bought 2 large dome trailer mirrors for 2.99 each at autozone. I then bought small Velcro pads from Walmart for less than $3. You can see what I did in the pictures. Great thing is that it is easy to reverse and easy to do, along with being cheap

Very cool, glad it works for you. But the traffic we have in California, Orange County, LA etc,, man those mirrors would concern me. We need bigger mirrors due to the amount of traffic and lane changes. I just use the Olympic Safari post mirrors. Can you see good out of them or do you just use them to be legal?

Sure they are cheap and all but there is no way they are effective at all and honestly, I think they look silly. I would also bet a set of hinge mirrors is cheaper and less hassle than a ticket.

Yea they work good for checking that blind spot in the next lane. I live in Texas I spoke to a police officer and he said unless you are doing something completely ignorant and the cop is looking for something they aren't going to pull you over for mirrors. I like the low profile look if you don't like it to each their own. They are effective and cost effective the whole thing was less than $10.
