Hi, I am a mechanical engineering student designing a side view/wing mirror.  Unlike conventional mirrors, my mirror does not protrude from the vehicle's body.  This could decrease overall vehicle drag by up to 5% and decrease accident damage to side view mirrors while increasing visibility.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

Thanks for answering!

I don't know much about racing and was hoping to get some feedback here.  I had been thinking that it could generally be useful for racing.  Is there a specific class that it would be most helpful in?  I also know that some people add convex mirrors or make other modifications.  Do you have any idea how popular it is to do that?
