PWC mirror as a replacement?

For some time now I have been thinking about doing some aero mods and I have the intention of doing a passenger side mirror delete and compensating with an internal mirror.

But then I legally need a drivers side mirror so I have been looking on eBay at mirrors from personal watercraft and was wondering if you guys think it's worth taking a shot at it?

I would still have an internal mirror to help but legally I need something on the drivers side outside. I figured they would probably be durable enough and there shouldn't be any issues with vibration distorting the reflection and it would certainly be a lot smaller.

Only problem I can see is it being something in which I would never make my money back doing. With the drivers side alone I can't see any more then maybe getting an extra 0.25 mpg with the downsizing and unless I get lucky I'm looking at $25 - $35 for a mirror.

I probably wouldn't do it unless I found a mirror on the cheap.


Opinions?
