Sourcing TL Side Mirrors

I am having a lot of trouble finding passenger side mirrors for my 3G. Ended up hitting a deer and it took just the side mirror. Anyone know a good source for used ones or where I can get one without paying $350 for a new one?

Also unsure if other models are interchangeable or not; i've seen some RL mirrors that are for some reason more readily available. Looks relatively the same as far as pictures go, but am unsure.

There are a ton (USA / Canada) of passenger side 07-08 door mirrors on car-part.com ($65-$410); however, for the best condition / priced NBP, you'll have to do your homework.

I didn't have much luck finding ones in my color or in great condition; so I just ordered a new one from Acura. Was only $350 brand new + painted so it's what it is. That price is comparable to a lot of used ones in good condition, so. Thanks for the help though

I have an 05, SSM, Passenger side for $75 shipped. Based on your profile pic you need 07-08 though.

Anyone looking, hit me up!

For what it's worth, you probably could have grabbed one in a different color or not great condition, had a body shop repaint it, and still come out well ahead of what Acura wants for a new one.

I have thought about doing that, but you have to consider that a used mirror could have a bad actuator, glass, or turn signal. I've seen a couple of them have small hairline cracks on the housing. Add the body shop labor cost. I'm assuming ~$100.
