got some cheap motorcycle mirrors just to be legal, but found it actually useful
been worried about getting pulled over, so I finally spent the 6 bucks on amazon for a couple of super cheap motorcycle mirrors on amazon so I wouldn't get hassled.
First, I found that in my state (MN) it's not even required. Never actually looked before. (duh me)
169.70 REAR VIEW MIRROR.
Every motor vehicle which is so constructed, loaded or connected with another vehicle as to obstruct the driver's view to the rear thereof from the driver's position 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.
*I'm not a lawyer, so maybe it is. I dunno.
But, I've found that since I threw it on the yeap, I use it all the time. Been driving for years without one, and now I think it's safe to say it's useful enough that I will always have one handy.
Just throwing a tip out there in case anyone else is pondering on picking one up.

Did the same thing. 2 mirrors delivered to the door for only $14 (love me some Amazon Prime). I had to grind the shaft just a bit to get the threads down low enough for the nut to grab. Put 1 big washer and 1 nylon washer top and bottom to protect the paint on the hinge (hey, it's a brand new JKU 
). They're firm with little or no vibration.
