Default Expensive Lexus replacement parts

My car was side-swiped while I had it parked in the road this weekend and the A-hole managed to break the mirror glass (plastic I know) and scratch my fender in the process. To add insult to injury, my Lexus dealer wants $108 for the new plastic mirror. I'm talking about just the glass, not the entire mirror assembly.

Is there anywhere online that I can get factory parts cheaper? I know parts are expensive for this car, but this seems like an inflated price.

Why can't somebody just side-swipe my exhaust so I have a reason to get an HKS?!

I have collision, but I found my car in the morning all smashed up, I have no idea who did it or I would definitely hold them responsible. I hope karma catches up with that guy/girl!

Thanks for the number jns350, I'm going to call that place tomorrow.

I'll definitely look into that group buy too, it would be nice to turn this unfortunate incident into something fun!
