Have them, and love them!

No scratches at all. They are lined with a rubberized (or something) coating, and the set screw has a plastic tip, as well.

The passenger mirror took some fussing to get a good view, but I don't use that one much, anyhow.

i have had them for 2 years now and they work great even at freeway speeds.
you are going to have to trim a little off the tip of the screw to make them fit the jk

If you slip them on, and tighten it down, it flattens out, then you don't have to worry about losing the screw, either

The best I've seen and am using are the 3" round mirrors from the auto parts store for $3. Pull off the sticky crap on the back of them and place velcro there and velcro them to the air vents. Using velcro will allow you to remove the mirrors and use the ari vents when your doors are installed.
