    I have the 2013 Prius V.
    The passenger side mirror is broken. The assembly is snapped, but the cover is ok.

    I found the replacement mirror assembly on eBay for less than $70. Can I trust it?
    here's the item:
    New Mirror Passenger Right Side Power Heated RH Hand TO1321286 8791047280 PFM | eBay


    Which is to be compared to the OEM version that is sold at around $170:
    2013 Toyota Prius V Parts -


    Should I go with the aftermarket version and save $100 bucks?
    What do you guys think?
    I am a little worry that my gray cover won't fit well with the aftermarket mirror assembly. Although nowadays third party stuffs are made very accurately.

    Thanks in advance for any input!

    If your cover doesn't fit you can always paint it.
    A third option is going with a salvage yard.
    I see there is a OEM passenger mirror for $95 plus shipping at www.car-parts.com
