If the silver washer were replaced with a black hemispherical cap to fit the recess in the base, and the fastener underneath was shortened or cleaned up, that would pretty good.

The actual metal superstructure under the plastic shrouding is only about half as thick as the plastic suggests.
I don't want to destroy the OEM plastic,but if I remove the base from the door,I may be able to remove part of it to expose the thinner structure and open up attachment possibilities.
And I'm not averse to cutting and welding on the mirror stem to create a cleaner integration.
I want to end up with an airfoil section as a 'stalk'.
I want to deepen the caps like the nose of a GAVRE artillery projectile.
There is a study about optimizing box-cavities for mirrors that I want to use.
And blend both ends of the stalk to kill any hook-vortices which would otherwise form.
From an open window and 'palmaero' I can feel the pulsation of a Karmann Vortex Street behind the unit.
So far,I like them.
I did add an additional passenger inside blind-spot mirror from AUTO ZONE as per Bam-Zip-Pow's example.It's really helpful when rubber-neckers linger in the blind spot.
