If the housing around the mirror fits tight enough to reduce frontal area, then there would be no room for air jets and such.

The trailing edge of the housing should be closing in shape to reduce the wake behind the mirror.

I do favor the idea of a flip-out mirror however. I think Metro was the first to mention this, in the postings that I have seen.
