South Carolina law just stated that you need a mirror that can see 100 yards behind the vehicle and that you only need side mirrors if you can’t see out through the interior mirror, no minimum size given. On the Aerocivic, I removed the external side mirrors and replaced them with smaller side mirrors mounted on the door on the interior side of the glass. As long as I didn’t pile luggage inside to the point of blocking line of sights for the main interior mirror, I was fine. Every time I got pulled over by cops curious about the car, I would ask them if anything about the car was illegal, and none of them had any complaints about the mirrors. Removing the exterior side mirrors reduced the wind noise inside the car considerably since these wind noise generators are located about 2 feet from your ears on the opposite side of the glass.
