Default Help:Need to replace side mirror!

hit a handle of recycling bin this morning backing up.
i couldnt see the bin because all the windows were fogged up.

my passenger side mirror shattered and the housing is lose but not completely off.

what would be a cheapest/best way to fix this ?
also, any idea how much is this going to cost ?

here are the pictures

yeah, busted the mirror off my old xB. takes not even 5 minutes to switch them out. Don't waste the money on the labor.

www.Partznet.com

Site only works on Internet Explorer. I'm running Safari right now so I can't hot link to the site. Just filter through and select the proper color of your tC. It's an actual dealer but sometimes they are cheaper than local stores.

BTW, Kentaro as in Kentaro from Love Hina?

thanks for all the input.

but i ordered from McGeorge with next day shipping (+$40) and kanundrum was kind enough to install it for me before going to bounty hunter.

But the part doesnt fit like stock.
so i might have to give them a call.
