Anyone mirrorless , running no exterior mirrors?

So my sport mirrors don't function very well anyways, so I'm thinking about shaving the mirrors completely or at least until I find some I like .
Anyone do this? Pics? Does it look strange?

Gotta have at least one exterior mirror in WA State... so I have one of the 4" peep mirrors mounted on the upper door frame.

Well, I'm restricted to outside mirrors and you won't believe why... Because I wear hearing aids in both ears. Welcome to Iowa.

Re: Anyone mirrorless , running no exterior mirrors?

Well, I use my truck and drive a bus and big trucks and depend on mine. My 72 just had a small sport mirror on the drivers side and none on the passenger side, so while most here want to remove their big "ugly" mirrors, I just put some "real truck" mirrors on mine LOL!

Just check your local laws.... Cali requires 2 mirrors, including one drivers side outside. Second one can be inside, or pass. side outside.

Re: Anyone mirrorless , running no exterior mirrors?

Against the law over here and always has been, it would also be an instant fail on the yearly vehicle inspection...regardless of any of that, I could not drive safely without em.

69 Corvette mirrors look really good on these trucks IMO. That's what I will be using.
