Passenger side mirror replacement
Hi guys,
My wife had an "incident" with the garage this afternoon and now my 2003 G35 passenger side mirror housing and glass are broken.
I haven't called the dealer yet (since it's closed), but I'm hoping you all can answer a few questions:
1) Where should I purchase the replacement part from?
2) Does it come as separate parts or do I need to purchase an entire kit?
3) Is it easy to install myself? If not, what can I expect to pay a dealer to buy and install it?
4) Can you typically purchase the mirror in the car's color (midnight blue? twilight blue? I've heard it both ways - not sure which is accurate) or will I need to also factor in the cost to have it painted?
5) How much does it cost to have it painted?
Thanks.

I had my bases color matched to my mirrors (mirrors and bases painted) for $75
Not sure about the others...

Thanks Nathan,
Dealer is asking 280 for the part plus painting.
I went to auto-parts.com and found a few junkyards that have a right-side mirror, already in the twilight blue color for $150. He didn't know the actual part number. Do you know how to tell the difference between the heated and non-heated mirrors without a part number? All he could tell me was that it's a 5 wire harness.
Thanks.
