Just go to a wrecking yard and pick up a new one. Probably charge your around 25 bucks for it. Not that hard to replace either.

Just pop out that triangular trim (make sure you don't break the tabs on it) unbolt 3 nuts and pop out the mirror (if they're powered mirrors make sure you disconect first). Installation is reverse or removal.

or this could possibly be a good time to replace with some spoon replicas, but that is just my opinion

i see. you could try ebay or one of the many online honda-oem distributer parts. a junk yard, which was stated before, would also be a good idea. the only problem i would think with that would be the paint match, because all of us know that one faded mirror on a nice shine car would look retarded

oe quality is only oe quality. not that it is bad quality, but one mirror is painted just the same as the other right?? well if the mirror in the junk yard is not chipped yet, then wouldnt it happen again if it is equal to mine and it is as old as mine?
