Default tc side mirror replacements?

Since its gonna cost me about $400 to replace the side mirror assembly i accidentally ripped off, i've been trying to find some replacement mirrors. I havent seen anything available, but wanted to check here first. Anyone seen any?

No replacements yet. I had to replace my side mirror twice already.. how come you say it's around $400? I got mine for about.. $220, and I installed it myself. It's simple.

$400 is with install, $209 for the part itself. I may try to do it myself, i took a look at in the light this morning and it does look fairly easy. Hell i may even just leave them off and make a cover for some shaved side mirrors (dont know if its legal or not though)

Umm, if you look on scionlife, there's the service manual, just look at that to figure out how to change the mirror. It's simple.

You want replacement oem mirrors? Mcgeorge has them for 144.54 each for the whole kit: mirror, painted housing, and turn signals.
