The best possible solution I can think of for an optical mirror would be to have a "half teardrop" blister in the side window, that lets the mirror be positioned out beyond the side of the car, and has a tapered form behind the mirror that allows smooth attached air flow.

This kinda' messes up an chances of having (much?) of the side window be operable, though.
