The mirror rule in Connecticut
Connecticut's mirror law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 14-99) asks for a mirror that shows the road behind you; it doesn't specifically demand a side mirror. A clear interior rearview can meet that as written. Stack gear in the back, fog up a soft-top window, or tow something and you'll want outside mirrors. Most doors-off drivers run them anyway, because a Jeep's factory side mirrors leave with the doors.
“so located and adjusted on such vehicle as to give the operator thereof a clear reflected view of the highway directly to the rear of or on a line parallel to the left side”

Put your mirrors back
Your factory side mirrors ride on the doors. These mount to the hinges or the A-pillar so they stay when the doors don't. Every link goes to Amazon.

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Connecticut statute that requires doors on a passenger vehicle or makes removing them an offense. The rules that matter are the equipment rules: mirrors first, then fenders and lighting.
