Default Side Mirror replacement

Okay, so I smashed that housing on my passenger mirror backing out of the garage today. Dealer wants a little over $900 to replace the mirror and assembly.

Where can I find a less expensive one? Any Lexus specific junk yards? I tried a few local ones, they don't have any es350's.

Grrr...

Insurance claim? Or if you have a $1000 ded you could buy a wholesale unit from an online dealer and install it yourself to save as much money as possible. I'm not sure if the shell can by re-used in this case or not. Otherwise you would need to have a body shop paint the shell to your car's color.

Any reputable body shop or interior custom trim shop will be able to do this. Remember reputable.....
