Side mirror replaceable?

So this morning I was leaving for work and as I was exiting my garage, I hit my left side mirror on a pillar. The turn signal still works, but the mirror wont till down when I put the car in reverse. Lastly, the plastic is cracked and I dont want to put touch up paint bc it will never match. Is it possible to replace the entire side mirror and how much would it cost? I found a side mirror for 250$, but im not sure how much installation would be.

Yes, but there is some work involved--a search for "mirror" & "door" comes up with: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/repairing-side-view-mirror-3g-garage-e-045-a-573130/.

Another member had a similar problem recently, bought the housing, then was able to fix it without changing the mirror housing: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-problems-fixes-114/mailbox-smacked-my-mirror-disassembly-instructions-please-845768/.
