Has anyone ran any testing on the aftermarket replacement 'spoon' side mirrors for 5th gen civics? I saw them mentioned in a handful of threads when I did a search, but didn't have any luck finding solid information.

I'm getting started on my '92 VX and am trying to focus on improving the aerodynamics. I've heard that these side mirrors are better, being smaller and hugged tighter to the body, but was hoping for some confirmation before I spend the $35 or so on a pair.

I've consider removing the passenger mirror entirely, but I prefer to maintain the safety and peace of mind that it comes with when driving/parking.
