My insurance company couldn't even find one!! I think I'll give them a call and let them know that rarespares has them... I'm not paying, so I don't care.

SWAP MEETS
I cant say that enough!!!! you can get the best bargains at swap meets.also some wreckers are dumb and dont know the value of parts EG SL/E lhs mirror $10 ( these are normally anywhere from $60 up to $120) lhs plastic mirror $15,, but unfortunately i cant reveal my sources,but i can say SWAP MEETS.

You've got to understand, I was deliberately rammed by a truck driver, who will eventually get his day in court on charges of reckless endangerment, improper use of a motor vehicle, failure to give way while changing lanes and following too close. So any cent more it can cost him (and/or his insurer) is a good thing in my book.
