Default Door-off, "Factory look" side mirrors? need help

I will like to take my doors off this summer, BUT I need to get side mirrors...

I search the whole site, but I can't find a good "Factory look" ones, beside Rugged Ridge and Mopar (same design) which I didn't like


Anyone can help me?
please... I'm desperate



*(Rugged Ridge vs Mopar, can you tell the difference?)

The "tell the difference" was a bad joke"

Anyone know a better "Factory look" design?

I have the Mopar off-road mirror (just driver's side, since that's all you need legally) and really like it. It works well and keeps me legal. Also I can just leave my factory mirrors attached to my doors.



I think it may have been discontinued but you can still find it some places online.

Actually I am using it right now with my Bestop soft doors.

Die tech offroad uses the mirrors from your doors and puts them in the same location that you have them with doors. Great visibility with their two brackets, and you keep the stock mirrors.

I have the rugged ridge kit, i like it, but the only thing is you cant see out of the passenger one unless you put one of those small circular convexed mirrors to the upper right hand corner of the mirror, that allows you to see out of it. the drivers one is fine for looking out of.

I can tell you from just installing the RR relocates, CHOOSE A DIFFERENT route... That circular plate to cover the holes on the door is not big enough, you can still see where the factory mirrors sat. The plastic sleeve included to help secure them in the new brackets SUCK and I can't see SHIT out of my passenger side mirror without stretching over into the passenger seat. Other than that, they are great!

I bout some TJ mirrors and left factory mirrors on the doors. I put the TJ mirrors on when I take the doors off. They fit right on the lower side screws for the side windshield bracket.
