It WOULD be aerodynamically correct, however, there might be so much optical distortion introduced as to render it useless.
And unless hermetically sealed, could end up full of condensation, or ice, depending on dew points and ambient temperatures.
The SCCA racing mirrors with truncated plexiglass, open fairings, would be an attempt at a compromise.
