But that isn't the whole story; you'll also need to investigate whether the lower-drag mirror by itself is also the lower-drag mirror next to the car, where there is interference between the mirror and body.
I've seen that video. im not even thinking about using smaller car mirror. i was actually going to stick a screw out and then attach one of these super mini 3 inch blind spot mirrors. and then id fabricate some type of little aero cover shell on the backside of it facing the wind. ill be getting a rear view panoramic mirror and then also putting two little mirrors on the inside of both windows too for extra safety
