Anyone replaced just the glass on their tow mirror?

I finally managed to bump my mirror yesterday and the glass shattered. (The opposing Superduty was unscathed)

The dealer said I need to replace the whole thing for 350 ish. I know I can have the glass replaced at a local shop, but it would not have the original curve.

Anyone know if/ where I can get just the Mirror surface rplaced?

If I need to replace the whole thing, I may look at some other aftermarket ones, as I have never been really happy with how these ones work for backing up and parking. They're great for looking befhind you, but I have to choose between the way behind or sown low, I cant find a setting that works for everything.
