I probably will use video cameras -- they might be able to be behind the side windows, because the sides taper in, so there is a good line of sight to the rear without protruding out from the car? If I do optical mirrors (which use zero power, naturally) I would try to have a gentle "half teardrop" bubble on the side.

The quarter scale model actually has small bumps where the video cameras could go, but I think the scale and accuracy (or lack thereof) will make it tough to judge how well this will work.
