Default Took out the driver side mirror backing out of the garage, help!!!

This morning while I was pulling out of the garage and looking over my shoulder as I backed out making sure I didn't hit my wife's car parked in the driveway I forget to pay attention on how close I was and I completely took my driver side mirror off. I called the Honda dealer and they want $225.00 for the mirror which is ridiculous. I'm on a tight budget at the moment and can't afford that. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can find a replacement alot cheaper?

I have a 1998 Honda Accord Ex 2 door coupe and it's red.

Here's the damage.

Ebay has aftermarket power mirrors starting at under $30...Black in color. If you can't locate a salvaged mirror, this could help.

The above suggestions are great options. Salvage yard is best bet for same color as your car and for best pricing. Here's a few other options to compare:

OEM in San Marino Red, Honda Part Number 76250-S82-A21ZG, $147 plus shipping, Bernardi Honda Parts.

"http://www.bernardiparts.com/SearchOptions.aspx?Search=SKU&SkuNo=76250-S82-A21ZG"

Rock Auto in black only. Competitive to ebay pricing.

Thanks guys for the help. Redbull-1 The aftermarket mirror from Rock auto that sells for $30.00 does that also include the mirror with it or do you have to buy the mirror separately. Also where can I buy the San Marino Red to paint the mirror?
