I'm pretty sure that would make the car illegal. My 1990 Civc hatch has only one mirror as sold from the factory... a bonus, but i think the effect of the mirrors on the aero is minimal. Seems like a crx would be the best place to start for this brand. It has a kamm/prius style back design, easy motor swap to a 1.5L too you'd only need the engine mounts the 1.5L sits on in a regular civic, and axles. Also think about how lightweight drives shafts, clutch, flywheel, and other usually performance oriented upgrades will help with fuel economy...less rotational mass = less work for the engine to do. Reducing friction would help to i.e. hypereutectic pistons, and ceramic sleeved cylinders, but thats out of most peoples price range.
