Lupo went all out on that, I was imagining a less invasive method, where each side view, in its stock location, would have it's own complete boat tail fairing.

Are there any ABA results on here of just straight out window removal? I imagine that would tell us what was possible for gains.

I remember older prototypes of fuel efficient cars had tiny camera on the exterior, then video screens on the interior in a similar sightline location.

If you can dredge up an article for the 1984 Ford Probe-IV concept car,I believe that they mention that their side mirror design essentially made them aerodynamically invisible.
