    Let me check with the guy I bought the driver's mirror from, he should still have the passenger side. It's a silver mirror......you can paint it to match your car or just leave it as is. The silver and driftwood pearl is pretty close, you can tell people it's a bad paint job LOL

    LOL that would be AMAZING! I cant express how grateful I am, I wouldn't be in such a rush but I live in Baltimore and constantly need to parallel park. I am nothing without my mirrors!!

    the guy is checking for me. If I haven't updated this thread by tomorrow, you can call him. I believe he sold me the driver's mirror for $25 or $30, I picked up in SoCal.

    I highly doubt the mirror cover will fit an aftermarket mirror. If you plan on going the mirror cover route, you need to get an OEM mirror (whether used or new). If I were in your shoes, I would buy a used OEM mirror and a mirror cover from the dealer. Then your car will be good as new (minus the dent in the passenger door). :)

    Oh deer that does look broken. I'd screw that thing back on, get a mirror that fit and glue it in there. Then is get to work, get the job done early and ask for a bonus.
