Unhappy Shocked at the price of a mirror skull

I want a new left mirror skull for my 2016 Honda Fit (part #76251-T5R-A01ZE). I can't believe that it costs $120 to replace the left mirror skull. it looks like a piece of plastic. Am i missing something? Do you guys know a cheaper alternative to this?

That seems pretty reasonable for an OEM pre-painted part.

Yep, actually not bad for something pre-painted.

Try $314 for a MINI Cooper S version. Unpainted.

You're getting gouged to shit there.

I used to work for MINI. The unpainted mirror caps were like $60 per, and a set of the novelty ones were $99.

​​​​​​Absolutely I was. That's why I don't have a MINI anymore.

Skull cap is cheap. Price the mirror assembly that doesn't come with the skull cap. BTW: the mirror assembly is on Galactic back order or so my Honda dealer told me

Maybe it's actually made in the Fit Mexico factory which is shut down until Nov.
