As for the mirror base I would spot bondo sand and shoot it with matte black paint.

Yes it is, but problem is, the guy quoted me $400 something for the part.

The mirror base looks weird based on the angle. It's actually the bondo or epoxy that needs to be sanded down and painted. And yeah, I watched the mechanic put the mirror back on after he brought it to me just so I could see how to do it. You're right, it is so easy; just pop off a cover and unscrew 3 nuts.
