Default mirrors with no doors ideas.

so to meet certain legal issues, most states require you to still have a certain number of mirrors. and if you take your doors off, you lose those side mirrors.

so what do you use for mirrors?

an idea i use and like is using a magnet from a impact gun/spray gun holder and bolting it to a cheapo parts store mirror. looks pretty clean and is easily removable when doors go back on. also the magnet is pretty strong so it doesnt come off when jolted offroad.

Nice! I haven't seen those before...but I like it.
I'm planning on modifying some cheapo bicycle mirrors to fit on the hinge.

You may be able to modify some motorcycle mirrors. Mount them on the a pillar and leave them on all the time.
