OK, I made a rookie mistake!

AHHHHHH!!!! Alright, so I was driving on the Parkway, helping a friend pick up some bathroom fixtures. So I am distracted, telling him about the bachelor party I went to over the weekend and how much drinki... ANYWAYS, I was distracted, tried to do a lane change and BOOSH, I swiped a Nissan Titan. We just barely clipped each other. We both pull over and look at the damage. His Titan, FINE!!! And thank god, not even any paint transfer, the X, not so much. I busted the driver's side mirror. Trim ring shattered and glass cracked. So in all, not so bad. Just trying to figure out if I have the electrochromatic feature (Usually easy to tell because of a blue tint to the glass, but mine doesn't, but still looks like it dims at night. So right now, looking for a new mirror and to decide to just replace the ring and glass, or the whole unit.

So anyone who has insight, let me know or knows where I can get a second hand mirror let me know. it looks like there are just 4 torx under the hinge point, pop it off, new one goes on, tighten 'em down and good to go.

Oh and the X is Alpine white.
