It looks big in the pictures, but the frontal area was at most 1/4 of the other mirror. I would have added a little cover in front of it to make it more aerodynamic.
The bolts were of little risk to passengers. The stuck out barely farther than the ones that hold the stock mirror, and the mirror adjuster stuck into the cabin far more. If someone's head came in contact with the bolts, they would probably already be dead.

I have to agree with euromodder. This littler one won't help aero much. For the passenger side you really don't need the outboard mirror at all--either under law or for safe driving. Do like everyone did before these side mirrors became standard equipment sometime in the 1990s: look over your shoulder before you change lanes or back up. I'm guessing that makes you nervous. You could try to train yourself to it by covering the passenger side mirror on some drives.
Good luck.
