ebay is your best bet, can probably get one for under $100. Your lucky your car isnt an 08+ or else the mirror is $350+ with mirror.

Wouldn't this be covered by your insurance? Let them tell you where to fix it...it should be covered under vandalism.

Thanks, I tried Ebay, but couldn't find anything in my color. Called up Lexus they said over $900 . Insurance does cover it, but I have $500 deductible, hopefully I'll find something cheaper than what Lexus offered me.

Unfortunately the mirror that you buy on ebay to replace the one that was stolen is probably somebody elses stolen mirror. It's the ebay ecosystem.

Get whatever and have it repainted. Repainting a mirror should not be very much at all, especially since it's already off the car.

most people's deductible is more than it would cost to just buy the mirrow straight up.

I used to have a BMW 330I Sport (E46) and the mirror broke (must've been some person on the sidewalk intentionally or unintentially hitting it). Anyways, asked BMW how much to replace the whole unit and the quoted me $1200. I proceeded to laugh in his face and walked away. The entire unit cost 350 or so. Rest was paint and labor - I think they wanted to blend with the car so any color variation doesn't become obvious.
