Default Side mirror

I've been putting up with a heavily scratched side mirror for 6 years b/c I understood that I had to replace the entire mirror and housing, paint the housing, and swap it out. Is this accurate, or can I just replace the mirror glass?

My driver side mirror is cracked, some idiot kids down the street shot it with a bb gun. Plus the blue tinting is starting to pit so it looks like crap
you can get just the glass, but the only place I have been able to find it only offers the regular style and not the tinted kind.

Pepboys, I cant remember the brand name though, if you ask the knuckle head $6 an hour parts guys will probably tell you its not available but ask the parts manager or a commercial sales guy to look in the catalog, its in there and is available, thats how I found it. I useto be one of those commercial guys. thats how I found it.
