Where can I buy a passenger side mirror that matches my color trim?
2008 Camry SE 4 Cylinder.
Line drive from a soccer ball kicked by my 13 year old dislodged my passenger side rear view mirror.
I took the assembly apart to see if it was maybe a screw loose or something. Was worse. One of the "pillars" that the housing screw fits into was broken from the mirror chassis. No way to fix it other than maybe super glue and not sure how long that would last.
Long story short, figured it was an easy thing to replace so why not DIY.
Went online to find a replacement part.
Plenty of them.
Only issue. They all come in Jet Black.
My color trim is Silver.
Anyone know where I can find replacement mirrors that will match your color trim?
Other than paying 200 bucks to the dealer?
thanks for any and all help....

I would check your local junk yard. Most have some sort of crude system to track what makes, models, years, and colors. I also bet that if you bought one of the cheaper all black ones, you could take it to a body shop and they could paint it for you for a reasonable price. You can call around and ask for quotes.
Sometimes you can find someone parting out a car on craigslist as well.
