Default Fender Mirrors?

So, when the weather starts to go North, I want to take the doors off of my XJ. Aaaand thanks to the ever prominent laws of Virginia, mirrors are a must have since it is my DD. Any specific mirrors or preferences?

Look at motorcycle mirrors and most mount them to the upper door hinge so its use able.

How did you get those bolts out of the door itself? I noticed they were at an awkward angle. And how much were the mirrors? Btw very cool profile pic, I love TPB lol.

I didn't. I cut the bottom of the hinge off and hit the pin out with a hammer. I think they were around 10 a piece. Haha TPB is simply amazing

It's a little hard to see in the picture, but basically I just put a small 4" convex mirror on my tube doors. Side note, in Va you technically need tube doors. Most people won't get you for it, but I got a ticket in Floyd county because, as per vorginias state law, any body panels installed from the facgory must remain or have equivalent installed...

So basically, as long as the "tube door" is above your waist while seated in the vehicle, it's all good. Just a little for warning from previous experience.
