Unhappy Center Console Damage

Howdy,
I had some service done recently, and they nicked the shifter gate and the chrome surround. Does anyone know if I can replace these separately? Lexus wants 2500.00 for the entire assembly, including the Birdseye Maple, which won't match perfectly, and the cup holders.

HELP!

Bob

pictures would help. You can call a company called fibrenew. They recondition leather and trim in cars and homes. have used them on my LS460. They will blow your mind. Take a look at their website. I am pretty sure they are national. If they happen to not be in your area then google will lead you to an equivalent in your area

I'm not.. I was just seeing if i could make it a little easier cost wise so they don't put up a fight. They called today, and said they'd take of it. Time will tell. I have my attorney's phone number at the ready.

Thanks Again for the help.

Peace
