If not, get a replacement arm.

I agree it isn't like watching your rear wheel passing your side window - in most cases cars behind might think oh wow a cool spark making chicano W126!
I just don't want to hear that someone has ended up in a ditch like his (user)name sake. After all there's the well being of a real car at stake here - not some crappy little Porsche speedster!
I am a self confessed fuss pot for this sort of stuff but it still remains to be a possible stability problem that might occur at an inconvenient moment.
