Default Replacing the driver side mirror

somebody who didn't know how to back up knocked off my mirror as they were coming out. how much am i looking at to get it replaced? where's the cheapest place to buy parts? should i attempt to install this myself, or get it done at honda? any good "aftermarket" mirrors that look better?

look on ebay. i see some oem's go for cheap... if you can't find one then maybe go with majestic

i think it's pretty easy diy... all the ricers have them right?

it is very easy to replace them. just remove your inner door panel then there are i think 4 little nuts. should be 10mm. then unhook the wire (if you have power mirrors) and your good to go. ebay is the best place i would say or else off a forum. there not going to be cheap btw.

as for aftermarket i couldnt find any i liked. there are teh Bomex mirrors and ebay mirrors and thats about it.

i'm bringing it in to the dealer today. might as well get it done by a Honda technician, as i don't have to pay for it

not sure if i can reattach it... a plastic clip or whatever inside the mirror snapped in half.

theres 4 nuts, 3 8mm and 1 10mm

theres no reason to have the dealer do this, pop off that little plastic panel, take the nuts off, and slide the mirror out, put the new one on and put the nuts back on, replace the plastic panel on the inside and your done, shhouldnt take any longer than 5 minutes to do this.
