Angry Cracked Side Mirror ~ Replacement?

Hey guys I cracked my pass side mirror when I was putting the mirror back on after swapping out my puddle lights for some leds. Does anyone know where to get it replaced without paying an arm and a leg? Found these on ebay would it work?

Try your local car cemetery/junk yard and keep an eye on Craigslist/eBay as well for used parts.

As far as the ebay auction, you can go to a local galss and mirror shop and they can cut it for you. Just take a piece of paper/cardboard and trace the outline of the mirror, cut it out and have them cut you one to size or just a hair bigger. Then take some double sided tape and attatch it on top of your cracked mirror.

It is not very noticeable since it sits inside the mirror housing. If you are extremely picky, take the advice of brociouz. Let us know what the cost is if you get a new one from lexus.

Yeah try to find one my girl cracked hers. She has a lease & didn't want the headache later when she returns the car $660 to replace it. As we all know no need to argue with a woman. I would have went a dif route but she wanted to take it the dealer.
