No, but due to the interrelatedness of aerodynamics my car might not be doing the same things "normal" cars do. I have about 50% grill block, fairly smooth wheel covers, rear wheel skirts and a Kammback extension.

Just not having the mirrors there is likely changing the airflow dramatically all by itself.

I was looking tonight and the tufts (I'll take some pics tomorrow) blow from about 45 degrees to almost straight up with the window closed, roll the window down about 2 inches and they go mostly horizontal. Strange stuff...
