Drivers side remote mirror source? and rocker trim

Does someone sell the drivers side remote mirror?  After getting the paint done recently, I pulled out the chrome trim parts and found that the remote mirror is too pitted or bubbled to warrant reinstalling, it really needs to be rechromed but i'd rather replace it if the part is available.  Anyone got a source?  I'll also be needing new door handles, i found a source for those on ebay for 99.00 a set (pair).  

Luckily all the stainless and chrome trim around the windows, top, glass and wheelwell trim is in pretty good shape, just needing some cleanup and polish.  I guess storing them in the trunk for 10 years helped out some.  

Also will need a source for the rocker trim pieces that go from behind the front wheel to the backwheel below the doors.  Mine are pretty nasty looking.  I've found several sources for the plastic clips that hold them on, but not many of the actual trim pieces.  I believe they are stainless steel or aluminum,  If i have to i will wire wheel clean them, then sand out the scratch marks and polish them, but they are long pieces and not easy to work, and look like it will take days of work on each just to make them servicable.  Given the fact that this car has a ton of rarely ordered trim pieces, it looks like i've got lots of work ahead of me.  At least the passenger side mirror is in good shape still.  

Grill is finally back in place after 8 years, hood hinge attaching plate is rewelded inside the hood and now the hood opens and closes as it should, but i had to take the trunklid off to repaint the trunklid as I kept sanding thru a layer of paint when wetsanding prior to polish/buff, its now repainted and awaiting the next sand and buff, I figured the lid itself had to be as close to perfect as possible before i install the vinyl stripe.  Its almost ready now.  That lid is heavier than my whole challenger hood on my 2010 challenger.

BEA for one and I think even Chrysler for a second on mirrors.  Not sure on rocker trim.

I bought my passenger side mirror from R/T Specialties.......he lists DR remotes too as I recall.
