Default Auto Dimming Mirror Glass

I am sure this has been discussed before but I can't find the exact answer. Can I replace just the mirror glass on the interior rearview mirror, or do I have to buy the complete part? My mirror currently has a big dark oval across the whole mirror. Is this an expensive part? Is this a sign that the mirror is about to explode? Can I replace with a combination auto-dimming/compass mirror? Thanks.

You have to get the whole Auto-dimming-mirrror. That thingy is expensive, though.
