Anyone buy a side mirror from subaruonlineparts.com?

I'm looking at http://subaruonlineparts.com/repair-...?cPath=237_253 for this part(lost a side mirror), and am wondering if anyone has any experience buying from this site.

I also read in the FAQ that they don't paint any parts, but there's an item here called "paint to match" and an item called "paintable", so I imagined that if I chose "paint to match", I might get one pre-painted, anyone have any ideas?

Hey all,

Update on this situation, the part from subaruonlineparts does NOT come painted. They're the same thing, just confusingly catalogued.

A clip from our email exchange:

Anything is paintable ,paint to match means it needs to be painted to
match , use either term, they dont come painted from subaru and we do dont
paint anything
Thanks
So now I'm on the hunt for a body shop I suppose. HTH

That's weird in my past experience with replacement mirrors you pick your color and it comes painted. I guess it's cheaper for subaru to stock blanks for this car since it is low volume.
