Default Side mirrors

Accidentally scratched/hit my driver side mirror the other day and thank god it bent towards the fold-in way and not the other. Scratched part of the plastic lining on the mirror but part of the plastic popped out. Not too major thankfully. But was just wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost to replace/repair the mirror or if I should just leave as is.

You can probably get it repainted for cheap and pop the plastic back in. Hard to say without pics. Side mirrors aren't cheap The one for my Camry alone was like $300 painted and that was just for the part. It was a pain to install too.

Take a pic. The gs version is fairly easy to remove.

The damage is not too major. Was just wondering if it is worth the cost in repairing or just leave as is.

A good body shop can fix that easily.

Do you own or are paying for the car or is it a lease? In any event, I wouldn't leave it without fixing it.

Financing. Was just curious on the price range for repairs.
