Broken side mirror - Fix? New? Oem vs. aftermarket?
Whatup y'all. I recently bought my box. Black Sand Pearl, 60k miles. I'm pretty stoked about it, but it came with a cracked passenger sideview mirror. Does anyone have any experience with this? The body shops all say you have to replace the whole unit, but I've seen fix kits. Anyone used that? How about buying a new mirror? Are the $50 ebays going to do the same job as an OEM salvage or new part?
I'd like to get the mirror working and looking like it did originally for as cheap as possible.
I did search, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

I had a side mirror sheer off from a basketball goal falling at my brothers house one day, and I found a replacement one on Ebay for like $90 shipped, it was ready for paint, but my mirrors were already flat black it it matched the other fine.

Thanks Mox but I'd rather not paint... Did you replace them with something else? If so, what?
