If you are referring to the actual mirror-glazed portion of the assembly itself - - While Honda DOES sell the replacement part it is MUCH less expensive to go to a glass shop and have them cut and fit the piece themselves. They have the equipment to cut the glass to the proper shape and should have the proper adhesive necessary to mount it.
