2" stick on mirrors from oreilly auto parts stuck on the outer 2 AC vents.

Provides just enough visibility. I always turn my head to look before I change lanes.

This works decent enough in a wrangler. Once I got the Gladiator I realized the bed can hide an entire Miata on the passenger side.

I also recommend the auto store scooter mirrors. 8 bucks a piece and they are a direct fit.

And doesn't work for keeping you legal.
Depends on where you live (which is one of the reasons I'm of the opinion that no one should comment on the legality of any mods on here unless you know the laws of the posters state but again that's just my opinion).

Texas only requires one mirror which can be the one inside as long as nothing is obstructing its view, like a camper shell.

I figured almost all states require a side view mirror, but after a little research, it's actually only 16 or 17 states that have this requirement.

OP's location in Tennessee, looks like there is no sideview mirror requirement. This is the only mention I can find in the Tennessee vehicle code about mirrors:

I strongly recommend these. I've been running them for 6 months now and I love them. Better visibility than the stock mirrors on your doors, easy to put on and take off after the mount install, which is also easy. They also leave your hinges open in case you want to run tube doors or some other half door.
Yeah, the Coyotes look sweet. I like the idea of having the mirrors closer to me though, which makes the most expensive CMMs attractive. I probably won't do anything until Spring, so I'll keep pondering this.

Got my Westin HDX drop steps installed today and the Rugged Ridge hood locks. I think my budget for more add-ons is exhausted at the moment, although I could certainly afford the scooter mirrors as a temporary solution if I get the urge to take off the doors over the next several months!

I got some mirrors mounted to the door hinges, something like $30 for the pair. They are fine when you're not moving or at low speed, but are totally useless at highway speed as they vibrate so bad that you can't see a thing, but they fulfill VA state code for review mirrors ?‍♂
