Default center console chip fix

Hi everyone, I was removing the center console top panel of my Lexus is 250 '09 when I chipped couple of tiny pieces of the edge. The chipped sizes are about 2 mm in dimensions but enough to bother me. Is there any way to fix it without buying one from the dealer for $2100.00. Thanks !

I had the same issue with my IS350, I have a black dash and the chips were annoying me as well. The dealerships said that they can only replace the whole dash which is way to costly. So I did my own research and found that they sell a leather crack filler. I bought mine and filled in the chips with it and surprisingly it looks far better then it was before. This is the one I bought for my black dash and its almost a perfect color match.
