My apologies, but those look very very cheap and flimsy. If you didn't say where you got them from, I'd have guessed from a bicycle that the little kids in my neighborhood ride on; you know, the bikes with the horns and mirrors and baskets 
. The aftermarket ones you posted look much more professional and clean, plus I agree with the comment that you may have in fact created more drag becuase of the design. Sorry, but IMO it's better to dish out cash for some proven parts.

I dont want to be mean.. but seriously take those things off.. better we tell you than someone else... dude it looks horribly wrong... its like someone ripped off your stock mirrors and glued little tiny plastic things on them on a stick...
I know you worked hard on these and I'm sure youre proud of em... but they dont do the job

My car is on a diet, trying to loose some weight. And it's always on a budget. So I'll keep them as ugly as they are. I agree, they look a little gnarly. But visibilty is awesome, and they cost $4. It takes roughly 30 seconds to put the stock mirrors back on so I can if I need to go to a "car show". But the track could cares less about show.
And for the "they're probably creating more drag than stock" guys. they're not. They create less drag and weight nothing. I've studied fluid dynamics... have you?
Let the hate continue.
